I'm looking for a new helmet to replace an old spesh instinct that needs replacing.
What's a good helmet to look at in the budget above ?
Pref black too.
Cheers
Steve.
Before anyone else says it, the one that fits! 😀
Go and try some on, buy the one that fits best

this. I tried loads, I ended up with one from Decathlon for quite a lot less than my maximum budget. It came with two sets of pads too, bargain given just how much my pads stink
I forgot mine on a trip and bought an entry level specialized for 30 its superp cumfy more so than my giro
As above, fit above everything!
However, if Spesh helmets fit, try a Tactic II. I have one as my "spare" helmet and it's really very good indeed.

Because it fits? 😕 😆
Catlike offer quality at £50 that you get in others at £100
I chucked £55 at one of the 7idp lids , best money I have every spent ,fits like a charm ,weights **** all 19 vents cool ,light and SPANKING LUM ORANGE COLOUR, great lid
I'm selling a bluegrass goldeneye I'm the classifieds if you want an excellent helmet for a bog standard helmet price. It's a large.
i ordered a giro hex for £47 last week
I've got the Specialized one at about £55.
Fits my head nicely, just as well vented as the Giro that went before but just over half the cost and it's a particularly repugnant enduro shade of green...
+1 on the fit thing too. Some brands just don't fit my big ugly head.
I like the Bell Stoker, both for shape and price. Seems to fit me well enough 😀
EDIT - WTF - I thought mine was about £45. It was a gift - pls ignore [unless you find one for your budget]
I have a Specialised of some kind renton - bought to replace a Giro that was a bit old.
Bought from Stuarts in Forres (so you can try them on).
I can't recall the actual name - Advent? but I tried on ones costing £50, £70 and was happy to buy the one at £30-£35 (and 10% discount as well).
