Looking to get a couple of enduro style helmets for me and the lad-any recommendations out there?
Thanks in advance!
On One had them going for £12 each the other day. Looks to be a very similar design to the old Fox "Flux" and nowt wrong with those.
Got my lad one of these. Said it's more comfortable than his old Specialized one. £25 is a bargain!

I see they've put the prices up on the darker colours now, so £36 for anything but white and grey.
Those On-One ones are great. If you're not bothered about, you know, meeting any sorts of certification standards, or any actual testing.. Kind of seems to negate the point of a helmet to me.
Wait, this can of worms wasn't already opened? Shit.
CRC had some Bluegrass Goldeneyes for about £40 the other day, comfy but a bit warm. loads of coverage though. not in bad colours either
edit: ignore me, theyre back up to £69 😐

WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP BULLSHIITTTERR ALERT!
Seems to comply with EN1078. I needed a new helmet and decided to give the On-One Enduro helmet a punt, and it's great TBH. It was like £10-15.
Most stuff from P-X and On-One is garbage but there are hidden gems. This is one of them IMO.
I've got one of the on one lids. Ventilation isn't great but can't grumble for the price!
I stand corrected 😀
Curious, they don't mention it all all on their site, and when I actually asked them about it via email all they said was it was 'completely suitable for intended use'!
Wonder if the same applies to their road helmets? I was vaguely interested in one but knocked it off my list due to lack of any published information.
TBF that does seem pretty stupid / lazy to not list the safety standards on their website.
AFAICR it's actually illegal to sell helmets that don't conform to safety standards...
Update: it seems I'm right, however how good are these standards?

They're fine. As long as you don't crash.
