Helmet Question
My daughter has just about outgrown her helmet, and I'd like to know if anyone here would have one that their kid may have outgrown.
I'm looking for a size M helmet, 3/4 design......black in color is perferable.
Thanks,
Steve

RE: Helmet Question
Helmets are an issue...some hate them, some use them religiously...I assume you fall into the latter?
Used helmet? BADS idea! Could have been dropped, painted/repainted, abused, etc. If your kid's noggin concerns you enough to mandate a helmet, be a good dad and but her a brand new one! Anything else is Russian Roulette!

I'm sure you'veread it before but I'm gonna write it anyway, used helmets are a bad deal. They wear out and the liner brakes down making them useless. I'd spend the fifty dollars and buy her a new one. Dont flame me now

RE: Helmet Question
i just got a fulmer 3/4 model af 655. i paid 69 bucks for it at the local metric shop. as far as 3/4s go, it isn't bad. i miss my nexl 1/2 but i needed the 3/4 so i could put a tinted face shield on it. had lasik a couple months ago and my eyes are still sensitive to light, so use the tinted shield on the helmet, and a good pair of sunglasses underneath.... cant wait until they completely heal and i can go back to my regular helmet!

RE: Helmet Question
Chrome? Does this mean that some of you cannot inspect a helmet and tell if its good or bad? Kids outgrow their stuff all the time and he could find someone with a nearly new helmet to trade and he is asking on here where he may have some trust not to get screwed.

RE: Helmet Question
This is your daughter??? and you want to put her in a used helmet... NOT THE BEST IDEA... You can pick a DOT helmet on E-Bay for less then $40.00

Yeah, those $40 helmets are a great find...............I'd feel safe with that on her head, NOT.
The one she's using now is a $200 helmet, and very nice...........just a bit too small now.
