I think it's mostly personal preference, I've got a poc receptor bug and it's great but probably the same as sandboxes helmets. Whatever is better looking in your opinion and which has better protection.

poc is world renowned for advancements in technology in head protection. sandbox is arguably a trendy plastic head bowl.

Sandbox is s piece of plastic that people put on their head. Poc make actual helmets that will help with brain injuries. However you shouldn't put the blinders on like a race horse and look at only sandbox or poc. Their us an abundance of other companies that make similar products.

You guys are a bunch of dinglers, this helmet is just as certified as a POC Receptor, and personally, I'd rather have it than my POC.

Get a bern macon hardhat or a potech or triple eight. Those wont make you look like a complete dweeb and actually protect against concusions

The hardhat isn't astm certified.

Go with something that fits your head and is astm certified. I personally believe poc tries to go above the astm standard but its all worthless if the helmet doesn't fit right.

Its does bot matter if its astm certified. Hard foam helmets will mostly just protect your skull from cracking.Soft foam( bern hard hat or pro tech) will absorb impact and reduce the risk of concussion

POC receptor bug is what I'd go for.It's a bit more expensive but it's well worth it

After 3 years in my old bug receptor, I just picked up a new one on THECLYMB for $90... and it's better with adjustments in the back. It comes with an insertable brim if that's what you want. Here's a link if you aren't a member http://vnlink.co/SI3ZnaU
A helmet has saved my life at least one confirmable time. Get the best there is. POC doesn't compromise on style either.

POC. They have cheaper helmets that are solid, but the Receptor Bugs definitely one of their best products. I love mine.
