Charly, Icaro, Predator

Hey guys,

i cant decide which one to go for.

Charly No limit, Icaro 4flight cut, Predator DH-6

They all seem roughly around the same price and at the same standard.

i am wondering which one i would be better to buy. Like safety, comfort while riding etc

thanks

stephen, i was more making the point that instead of being some noob grom who go's out and buys a set of 200m CNC'ed trucks for bombing some small hills the kid is going out and getting a helmet with more protection and should be congradulated for making that call. So what if he wants a pretty helmet with a big price tag, the kid is getting something thats going to make him safer then a half shell helmet

true phil, i was just answering his question though, if i were to recommend any fullface i'd say a bell drop, or any decent mountainbike helmet. they are 1/4 the price and are just as sturdy as the 3-400$ helmets... and they are safer since they are made for taking heavy impacts from mountainbike stacks! i no longer have the link sorry bro! my computer had to get repaired and i lost all the shit saved on here.. ebay is also a good option.

i also had to wait nearly two months for my predator too argh!

Those paraglyding helmets won't offer head protection in the best possible way, I'd even go so far to say that they might not even offer protection greater than a decent half shell.

Get the Predator or a nice MTB fullface.
