dont order a helmet online. you need to go around to any local bike shops, try on helmets, and if you find one that fits good, look for a better deal online. bike helmets are all about fit. i got a new one 2 months ago and the 661 fit me perfectly and only cost 70$ with a deal from the local shop. it was 120 across the stret at footloose. Its all about fit. if it wont fit your head good, its worthless too buy. i say go with the helmet that fits, regardless of the company/price.

ps i am drunk so dont call me out on spelling

I've tried the 661 full bravo, and I really like it, so I think I might go with that one, but I'm still going to look at my bike shop

? you can't just pick a brand and buy a helmet

go to your local shop and find the helmet that fits you best

dirt bike helmets offer a lot more protection, but they are also mad expensive. I'm just dirt jumping, so I don't really need a dirtbike helmet

This is vital information that I learned two summers ago, full face helmets only work when you buckle them up. I fergot to buckle up, and I got hurt.

the mad max is getting phased out. the helmet replacing it is way sicker and around the same price. get one of those.
