full face helmet or not??

Sorry, I just could never wear a helmet with the word Bell stamped on the front? , never mind how much protection it gave me. That sticker would off quicker than the tags.

Ha! Ha! I had to hunt for it on the helmet I've had for quite a while now.

On my helmet, the word "BELL" is unobtrusively placed under the peak and out of sight. (Black on a black background, on a black helmet). At first sight it looks like it is moulded in. But close inspection shows it to be a superior industrial grade label (not a sticker, I'm trying to think of something more robust than the word "sticker" implies). It certainly does not look like something that would be easily removable, or even removable at all without permanent damage. The only "sticker" is the word "SUPER!" on the rear of the helmet in letters 4mm high in dark grey on a black background. I can live with that!

But I agree, the word "BELL" emblazoned across the side of the helmet in contrasting letters 3" tall would not be one I'd choose, or any logo for that matter.

At least that would have answered @kombos's question if he reads it all

Soon as I posted I had an "ah ha" moment.....

We have to admit most helmets make your head looks like a glan

Any pointers as to what is currently regarded as the best/ value for money?

IMO the best at the moment, but there are several good options out there. This one gives value for money

I like my Fox proframe because I can keep my hands on the bars and still drink my beer.
