I am looking for an open face helmet for enduro ???

It seems quite hard to finde an open face with an acu gold stamp,

any ideas ????

[Essex Rider]

Best bet is an old style mx helmet with removable chinpiece, i think they are on bvm but not sure??

[rabie]

hard to get hold of - almost rocking horse manure

i think i saw one mx rider once with one (fourstroke or NGR rider out of the eastern centre IIRC), very hard to get and then hard to get googels to fit

might find one if you ask around a twinshock mx froum, like the one at mxtrax.co.uk or the aussie magazine VMX (rumour has it a english one is coming out)

A while back I was looking for same, for off road and road use.
Got a Bell tourlite open face and added a peak from the moto 6.
Good quality hat with removeable lining, but seems not available over here now.
Still sold in States, but looks a slightly cheaper version.

There are lots of commuter hats from China now, plus a few intended for the Classic road market, but few quality (if any) for Enduro.

The answer is to buy a full face and cut the chin bit of. That's what my mate did......

i've got a feeling that removable chin guards were being phased out, i've got one but you don't see any more coming out (and i've feeling mine was cheap because they're not mean to be selling them ???)

Thats cut a lump out of the front bit with a saw. He actually wanted a trials hat, but only had an old full face lying around.

Those are trials helmets - I have one myself. Are they approved for enduro use? I've no idea if you're allowed to use trials helmets for speed events... anyone?

as far as i am aware if it has a gold stamp on it you can use it for enduro

saw some lads at a trail yesterday with biefe helmets that had gold stamps on

i will look there

[J@mes]

just had another thought im sure it says in the acu handbook you can send them a helmet they will check it and put a sticker on it?
