Full face helmet

Anyone have any recommendations on a good full face helmet? It doesn't need to be like a motorcycle helmet. Just has areas that protect the jaw and face (not just a brain bucket)

661 Comp on my head. It's a BMX helmet so not as heavy as a motorcycle lid (it's actually quite comfy). Good visibility and well vented. Shred Ready has some really nice lightweight lids too.

I use an O'Neil. "O". Helmet with solid chin and jaw guard and just wear goggles. Motor cross style helmet that is very comfortable to wear for many hours.

661 "comp"
BELL "Drop"
GIRO "Remedy"

are all great, cheap full face protection. I have the remedy and love it.

Comp has the shortest jaw piece of these options. Nice for field of view especially jumping.

+3 for the 661 comp:thumbup: Very good field of view for a full face. Very light weight and excellent ventillation.

I know you are talking about the Charlie Insider and that one at $189 is a good deal .

This one from below just looks so bad it looks good .

Yep, that's the one :). Think I'll stick with my free MX helmet for the time being.
