Hey guys, my girl and I are currently looking for a helmet that we can trust to go on her head. She wants something a little on the feminen side, (read: PINK LOL) and we cant find anything under 6,0000 dollars, you know? I dont have a WHOLE BUNCH of monies, so we are on the budget side...

Thanks for any help at all,

Chris

I forgot about the Icon helmets. My wife did not want one because it looks like something the Power Rangers would wear.

POWER RANGERS UNITE!!!!!

I bought a Scorpion Fury. It's not pink, but it's a good helmet. You don't want to go too cheap with helmets and make sure they have been DOT approved!

My wifes and my head are about the same size and we wear the the same size helmet, i just went and bought two that i liked cuz she didnt care what she wore as long as it protected her. now i have two to choose from :)

good luck on finding something, their just arent a lot out there

ICON has a Pink and a baby blue helmet, get that!

BlindLOKI... what is your price range?

My wife only wanted a glossy black helmet to match mine, we tried on all the top brands, and, nothing fit, then, we put a Fulmer Youth helmet on, and, it fit like a glove. DOT approved, and, they also have some SNELL approved. I'll be picking one up soon, since i tore up my Shoei when i went down.

Here's my take on the spare helmet econimics for Girlfriends/Wives:

--Loving Wife/GF who does not cheat: No $ limit, anything she wants(Pants/Jacket/Gloves/etc) , sky's the limit
--Any Other Female who wants to ride: My spare HJC CL-14(KAST) DOT/Snell
***Head must fit a SMALL helmet, Ass must fit 10"x8" rear seat***
--My Ex-Wife: $10 limit, or 2-quart Saucepan with rubber-band

--Girl i met at hooters: Swore she rode with a guy on a gixxer down hwy 17, 120-mph with only a Bikini-Top/Thong & NO HELMET at Myrtle Beach.....Now thats just NO FEAR and stupid)!!

hey hey hey now [8D] I keep showing her helmets like arai, KBC, Icon... SHE keeps saying oh thats cute, or oooh cool. Then she sees the price and is turned off. I keep telling her "its worth it if its what you want" but I havnt talked her into it yet... thanks for the ideas so far, I really appreciate it... keep em comin ;)


thanks,

Chris



EDIT: sorry don, forgot lol... price range is anywhere from 70 (IF its a good helmet......[>:]) and im willing to spend around 300 for her... shes the one, as stated above, that keeps stabbing my plans, like a cruel joke [:@] heheh... If I didnt love her.....[:-] Id just give her my HJC CS10. she already tried to talk me into it... I said, try it on... it slides around, she could probably do the exorcist thing... I said no no no no no noooooo.

I agree with the poster on the Icon Kitty helmets if your girlfriend insists on something feminine. The Icon Kitty helmets are Snell M2000 and DOT certified. Actually, when looking for a helmet, it is best to find one that's SNELL (http://www.smf.org/) approved moreso than DOT. I hate to say it, but the Department of Transportation says those coke bottle caps cruiser riders tend to wear are approved. Hmm...

NewEnough.com has the Icon Kitty Helmets (blue/white & pink/white) for $198. The MSRP is about $250, so that's a good deal. You can even accessorize and get her a pink visor shield for those sunny days :D Here's the link to NewEnough's private pricing: linky link (http://www.newenough.com/ladies_icon_mainframe_kitty_helmet_page_private.ht m). Good job on looking out for your girlfriend.

I think I spent 80 bucks on my daughters helmet its dot and or snell apprvd. She hardly rides so i didnt go really expensive. but I got her something that if we went down i know she will still have brain matter up in that noggin even thought she doesnt use it like should (brain matter), of course that could be hormones...jk
