Girlfriend needs helmet and I’m not as knowledgeable when it comes to beginner gear. Amazon is flooded with cheap brands I’ve never heard of and we’re not trying to get her a $200 POC helmet.

Any decent helmets in the $50-$100 range?

Take a look at wildhorn. Great quality for a great price. They’ve got some nice goggles too

Ledges are my go to but she might hate not having a boa, my girlfriend has a smith scout which has mips and she loves it. Better fit than the maze or ledge for here too.

I think I remember reading chicks have different shaped heads too

Auto adjust? Mine just has these three things I can move. They work fine but miss the boa a little
