Simon.Rogers1 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Does anyone have a spare or reasonably new Helmet medium in size for Mrs R to buy. She is going sprinting this year but doesn't want to spend to much until she is sure she likes it. OMP have a new cheapy available but I'm not sure about quality etc. Posted this in wanted also.

Mrs Kipper Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Simon It has been said many times before, but a good fit is top priority and Mrs R only has one head. If she doesn't like sprinting she can always sell the helmet. Mrs K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Simon Wise words for the 'Headmistress of the Paddock' 😬. Seriuosly, I do not think it is worth skimping on a helmet as it needs to provide good protection but also be be comfortable Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Fully understand and agree. Well mostly. Sometimes I think she's got more than one head though 😳 Shhhhhhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david nelson Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Simon The OMP one should be okif it fits. It has the BS standard. I think the main diffrence is what its made from. As a cheep helmet it will be heavier to give it its strenght and get through the test. The down side is that it will increase the amount of forces. In slow events like sprints and hill climbs not that big a deal but if you were on track and had a high speed off it would. hope this helps David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_C Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 The OMP isn't NOMEX lined either to save money. I bought the basic Sparco which was FR. Cheers Tom FH54WLX - only the car supports ManU, honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
