I got this helmet for the wife. Its the Belle XG or x-games helmet. Not too bad for $29 through Jensen. They come in Red/Black and Blue/White. Its vented pretty well and not too heavy. The pads dont remove but that is what a dishwasher is for. I thought I might just pass on the good deal.

Thanks man, I snagged one, they've only got the blue/white, when I first went to the site there both were available, but I waffled on if I wanted to spend the money or not and next thing I knew the red/black was gone. I like the blue/white better anyway.

I had to call and ask about the red. The website didn't say anything about the red. Did you order online or call them?

yeah, either that or what's in their mag ad is out of stock and discontinued. I usually just look at the magazine ads to see if they're carrying anything new or to get ideas of what to buy next, I usually refer to the website for actual pricing. Worst case you expect to pay $39 and when you call to order they say it'll be $29. Of course some wouldn't even bother calling if the price were $39 so I guess maybe there's a case here.

I almost bought on of those off of e-bay. How are they? Solid? weak? I am interisted to know if I passed on a good deal. And, like someone said, it can be a good idea to have a spare lid around.

Not too long ago (3 weeks or so) there was someone who had those and was starting the bids at like 9 bucks. Might be worth searching e-bay for.

Its a sweet helmet. It looks to be pretty burly and its fairly light. I am going to get one if they have my size. I think they only have Med left. Ill have to call.

You have to ask for other colors when you call. The Red is still available from what I understand..
