I am in the market for a moderate priced full face. Under 100 bucks. I understand I will not be able to fund the best of the best, but there has to be a helmet that gets the job done, moderate breathability and isn't crazy heavy on the market that. Any suggestions?
Size is roughly a medium.

Thanks.

I would recommend a Giro Remedy or Azonic Fury, both are great helmets and cost under $100. I would recommend you stay away from the 661 comp, although it can be found cheap it is essentially the same freaking helmet as a $40 walmart special "x-games" youth helmet. (i've had both and they fit and look just the same)

The Giro Remedy (non-carbon model) can be had online for under $100. Your LBS may have them at the retail price which is usually over $100 for the current model year, but they may be able to price match.

you cant put a price on head injury prevention, just hookers and blow

i have a giro and like it much better than the 661 I had before it.

I also reccomend the Giro Remedy. It's really comfortable, light, and has the downhill certification, so it will protect you 'downhilling' much better than a bmx or MX helmet. I got a last years one (new) for $50 on ebay.

Remedy FTW.

 

[OnePointFive]

Awesome, thanks.
I have a few options to go w/. Remedy being the highest one. The 661 Comp is not on my list.
Thanks.

I have a friend who used the Bell Balastic without any problems (and he crashed several times on it )....it can be had for cheap

Here's another vote for the Remedy. Most places are wiping out their 07 stock for cheap.

I have a remedy and am happy with it. Then I broke my visor to find out that it's discontinued in that color. So instead of ordering one to custom paint, I went for the cardboard and staples option.

keep an eye out for an upcoming tutorial

jebuz, why hasn't anyone suggested the Giro Remedy yet? that is a great helmet for under $100.

The important question is: did that beer come with it?

I got the Azonic Fury, pretty comfortable and breathes decently. Chose it over the Giro Remedy for the graphics on it. Ill probably scratch it all off though...I hit my head too much.

yeah I was opening #4 when I finished it, and holding #5 when the picture was taken. It turned out suprisingly well, and has already survived two solid days of riding. One day was borderline rain, so there was a lot of moisture in the air, but I'm not too worried about it's lifespan.

What a shame for me to make another

Giro remedy is better quality than most helmets I've seen. I got mine for $82 shipped too.

looks like some of the mail order places are starting to sell last year's Fox Rampage for under 100 bones. pretty sure that helmet meets the new DH specific standard. i had real good luck w/ me bell bellistic till i replaced it last year.

i think this year i'm just going to use an old hockey helmet. just need to find some goggles that will fit it. i heard that's what all dudes in canadia are doing these days.

i have an Azonic fury helmet and I'd say stay away.. doesn't breathe well at all.... it's got tons of vents but they're all covered up on the inside by a fairly thick material and foam.. bottom line, there isn't much air getting through.. i took a few hours and trimmed out all the materail on the backsides of the vents.. it's much better now.

a couple guys i ride with have Remedy's.. they're really nice... construction looks alot better than the fury.. I'd recommend finding an LBS that has them instock and try on a few different brands.
