Default My Girls New helmet... Input before I buy please...

Hey guys, whatsup, its me again with yet another helmet... weee.... this time its for my girl, shes chosen from countless models (of course, it HAS to be pink) and she has come up with these two from AFX... Anyone have experience with AFX? Our local bike shop sells the exact model as one she picked, so I know it cant be TOOO bad, as that is the only helmet that they sell that is not a high-end 500 dollar helmet. anyways, heres the two models, if you have ANY input, please say so... this is my girls head we have in the air right now and, i have to say, I love her. [:-] hahah dont tell anybody


AFX FX-97 (Pink) Modular Construction
AFX FX-20 (Pink) Solid Construction

thanks again guys/girls,

Chris

Honestly chief, at least get her an HJC. These helmets aren't going to do much for you.

c'mon LOKI. don't blame your girl. we all know that you are looking for a pink helmet for yourself. it ok. im not a pink man myself but i respect that you seem to be in touch with your feminine side!


lol. seriously. i know nothing about afx helmets, other than they seem to be very cheaply priced. i just couldn't pass on a chance to give you a hard time.

Never heard of them either... where do you keep finding these helmets!!! Anyways... I always do research and find reviews. So I stick with names people have already tested for me. If you can't the color you like in a known brand... buy a simple flat black and have it air brushed.

Get the icon kitty helmet dot and snell I think. Cost about 280 but I'm sure if you shop around you can get it under msrp. I wouldn't trust a helmet that was that cheap in price.

Personally, I am a fan of ICON products. I can sell u a slightly used ICON KITTY helmet. I also can sell u the matching leather. Let me know if your interested. If your going to buy a new one, remember, you get what you pay for.
