TBH i dont care what helmet it is ,if i had a big stack on it i would replace it right away, NO helmet is designed to take multiple impacts. 661 also do a crash replacement policy 

I didn't think about crash replacement policies!!

More to think about

TLD also have a crash replacement policy.   They're normally something on the lines of we will 'replace' your helmet for a special discounted price ~ 30% - 40% less than RRP which is usually about the same as what you'd be able to get if you hunted around the internet.  
So TBH they're not worth anything better than normal consumer power.

Just out of interest what's the most you lot would pay to protect your melons?

Isnt the 661 replacement policy free

[tintole]

I would pay whatever I could afford, if money was no object then I would probably have an Arai VX3.

But I don't have unlimited funds so I think you can get good protection without spending more than about £150

You can get TLD's, THE's, EVO's and others for less than this.

As far as I am aware all these helmets meet the safety standards required for downhill testing.

I think paying more generally means lighter, not always better.

I love the look of the TLD but would not discount the 661 evo until I get to try them on I think.

Cost is always an issue otherwise every one would also have Leatt braces as well. We all know they are a good idea but not many of us have a spare £350 ish quid.

I read a thread from someone trying to get a 'crash replacement' that 661 told him it's 50% of the MRRP.

CRC are doing the evo's half price so you may as well buy a new one then

Its not something i would put a price limit on, i would spend whatever neccesary to get a helmet that meets the safety requirements i needed for whatever sport i was needing it for.
I just wouldnt like to  spent like 3x's the money i needed when i could get a pretty damn smart one that is more than capable of protecting my mush for brains for much much less.

Very subtle!

I like this one.  Designed by the guy who did those old school Santa Cruz Skateboard graphics.

I certainly wouldn't buy a helmet that had to be scrapped after every impact, and I know from experience that when I buy a D2 it with take some punishment. 

You do realise that with EVERY helmet, if you fall off and hit your head hard you have to replace the helmet?

[McMeta666]

Im not to sure about full facers but some piss pots are designed to take multiple hits before taking a one way trip to the bin
