I need to measure my head for size, but I am guessing I am a medium.

I am looking to spend $20-30.

just looking for something for safety. I should have gotten one a while back.

Worth a look and definitely worth a read: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/349.pdf

Of course, for an additional $970, you could get a real Predator helmet.... good enough for space travel/combat.... good enough for... ;)

Should clarify that the pulse laser costs extra.... but might be worth it during field disputes. :rolleyes: :saint:

Just got that one in the mail today in Metallic White. (They were outta black) but as far as helmets go, it is very light and comfortable. A little thicker than some snowboard type helmets I've seen, but also about half the cost and it feels like it could take a beating. It only comes in two sizes, S/M and L/XL. I got the large, and the size can be adjusted with a kind of ratchet knob on the back. Very slick. Also, a strap in back to hold goggles, ear pads for the cold, and an extra set of pads for the inside. All in all not bad for $30.

You just gotta love the name. So which one did you get? The Mustang or the Messerschmitt?
