Reddit mentions: The best bmx helmets

Demon United Podium Full Face Helmet black/Lrg https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079XR43BW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_UpVbBbCQZNB83

I just got this one in the mail in anticipation of eventually getting my Raptor 2 shipped to me. It's super lightweight and has pretty good ventilation. I definitely like the look of the downhill mountain bike helmets a lot more than something like the TSG Pass.

I wouldn't trust most full face helmets for under $50. If you are going to be using that board going downhill and full throttle you'll really want a full face helmet. If you're just after life-saving protection then I'd go with something like this https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Tec-CLASSIC-SKATE-Classic-Helmet/dp/B0018GYNEO?th=1&psc=1

​

But if you want full-face protection go with something like this https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Sanction-Bike-Helmet-Hibiscus/dp/B07GT6NDKY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1541343354&sr=8-4&keywords=full%2Bface%2Blongboard%2Bhelmet&th=1&psc=1 (THIS IS NOT DOT RATED)

​

Now keep in mind that full-face doesn't have a visor and is not DOT rated so use at your own risk(still betetr than nothing). You can get dirtbike/BMX visors on the cheap or invest $200-$300 for a nice downhill longboarding helmet (That is DOT rated) but those are more designed for racing and are very aerodynamic.

​

I wear that Pro-Tec helmet I linked and take my meepo downhill up to 30mph but I also have a lot of downhill longboarding experience and have been 40+ before. With an E-Skate downhill can actually be more dangerous than a standard longboard due to stopping time and force, especially on an inexperienced rider. The advantage of classic longbaord downhill is sliding stops very quickly and we usually wear gloves with pucks and knee pads. Skate safe!

​

EDIT: As long as the helmet is DOT rated it should be fine, don't feel like what I linked you is the best of the best, just my informed opinion.

Try to find a transfer-9 under a hundred dollars. This page often has various medium, large, and extra-large transfers for under a hundred, you have to click around in the color options.

That transfer 9 has like, 4 certifications, including the new downhill. I got one for less than $100. If you compare that to the sanction, the sanction's only got one certification and it's what you would expect, a cheap bike helmet full face but not even with a kid's skate-park certification.

https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Sanction-Adult-Helmet-Retina/dp/B01KP7J9A4/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=bell+sanction&psc=1&qid=1570541894&s=outdoor-recreation&sr=1-2

Scroll down to the chart and look at the certifications. If you can get a $96 helmet at the first link, it's literally like four times the helmet of your sanction.

Good luck!

You talking, something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Demon-Podium-Helmet-Viper-Goggles/dp/B01IWEA1PO/

Never seen anyone riding around town with one of them, but honestly if it was comfortable enough, I like the idea of it and the shade factor, no goggles just sunglasses though!

Also, I wonder how peripheral vision is with one of these?

>Agree, Great Helmet, the great price is a bonus, Cheaper w/out the goggles...

It is called the giro savant it is very bright and has reflective strips on it. In my use I have found it very breathable, comfortable and light and think for the £40 I think it is good value if you cycle a lot. If you want to spend a bit less you can get a giro indicator and stick some reflective stickers on it.

Most people here will probably recommend something like the TSG Pass, but it’s well over your budget (259USD). Since you’re just trying out esk8, I would think about getting a mountain bike style helmet which is significantly cheaper but will still protect you face/teeth. This one is 89USD: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079XQ4QVJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XhB-Ab06ZZCAF

re-post from silverfish:

Re: cheap FULLFACE helmets?!!!
"I've gotten a Bell Sanction. Very light and affordable, but I had to make my own visor. Runs a size smaller, so if you wear a M for other helmets, get an L."

According to amazon it "weighs just 950 grams"

As an added bonus it looks pretty sick without the visor.

Come to Minneapolis!

And yep, it's a Bell Drop. I've known enough folks who spent months drinking their meals (and I've had enough expensive dental work done) to wanna play it extra safe.

Edit: Fucked up faces suck, but I'm glad at least that you're alive. Hope you heal up quick and the other guy suffers some consequences.

really good /cheap full face if you drop the visor off FlashNA01 has one and looks great.

I Got you. Heal quick dude. Keep it moist 👌🏻

If you're not trying to break the bank, this is what I went with. https://www.amazon.com/Demon-United-Podium-Helmet-black/dp/B079XP9Q32/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1525452397&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=Podium+demon&psc=1

Definitely makes me feel safer than the bike helmet I was using before.

I really want one of those myself because of the fox brand. However, there is a cheaper alternative on amazon. Demon United Podium Full Face Helmet black/Lrg https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079XR43BW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jAccBbMGJX1SV

So would Demon Podium Full Face Helmet w/ MIPS be good?

Very nice helmet, I went with something similar but lower end: https://www.amazon.com/Demon-United-Podium-Mountain-Protection/dp/B07HPCWMX2

​

Hopefully it fits!

i was looking at this. if i get this should i just buy a visor from someone else? do all visors fit all helmets?

Either is overkill if you're not into downhill, both in price and also heavy helmets are not fun to wear.
I can vouch for the [Bell Sanction full-face] (http://www.amazon.com/Bell-Sanction-BMX-Downhill-Helmet/dp/B00479MYE0) as a worthy alternative: it costs the third of these and is lighter. Read the reviews on Amazon.

I was thinking about getting one of these. I saw it mentioned somewhere as a cheap way into the realm of full faces. And I have some experience doing some good old fashioned shop vac vacuum forming, so I could probably make face shields for it.

And it would be dual purpose for me since I also do downhill mountain biking on occasion.

Does anyone know if a helmet like this is good? Weighs just about as much as a TSG Pass and says it's for biking.

Anyone know if the Bell Servo would work as a full face? It's this one

They also sell what appears to be a step up called the Sanction

Krash Bling Helmet lmao

I have this one. very sturdy.

motor cycle helmets are heavy and will take a toll when turning your head.

instead, look into Bell Sanction and Bell Drop.
