I tried on a Bell Faction helmet for BMX and it was so BIG, it looked word, are there thinner BMX helmets?

Question

IT just looks weird. Are there any bmx helmets that look cool?

Answer 1

Go to www.danscomp.com and browse through their selection of safety gear.  Some of their helmets do look pretty cool, and they have some pro replica's too.

You can make any helmet look sick by adding stickers onto it.  And they're going to be big, they're packed with foam and other forms of protection so you don't knock your head off.

Answer 2

The first question you really want to ask yourself - "Is cool better than the best protection for your head?"  I know, you don't plan to ever need it - you are a safe rider... BUT, just in case... after all, if nobody crashed (and nobody really plans to) than we wouldn't need helmets at all.  Too many people owe their lives to good helmets for me to ever go without a good one - I have ridden motorcycles on and off for  48 years, and haven't needed one for the last 47 - but I still won't ride without the best one I can get for my head.  I never know when someone else is going to pull in front of me and cause me to crash.

It is your head and your choice...  (Bell has had a good reputation as long as I have been riding, but there are a number of other good manufacturers out there.)

Good luck, and ride safe...
