Looking for a decent $100 helmet

[zooaka]

So, up to now I've been using my buddys helmet. I'm a bit of a newbie and just starting out, so I don't want to spend too much. Looking at a budget of around the $100 mark.

My buddy has this one:

jackson safety bh3 w70

I'd like to get as close to this spec as possible, without paying the $300 price tag :P

Any recommendations?

To get close to one of those on all its good points for $100 (£65) over here would be difficult unless you find a used one going cheap but saying that even used lids hold there brass pretty well. The first thing you'll notice about that jackson is its optics are probably one of the best set around and its actually very well priced over here as far as top line lids go. £190. ($300) which isn't expensive comparing to some.
Look for 1/1/1/(1,2) optical class standard in your budget range and you'll be as close as your going to get. IMO if you want head gear as good as jackson then buy a jackson.

He is in Malaysia mate..

I know he is.
What difference does that make with regard to the post I sent.

He's also pre-moderated as his first post contained a sales link so don't hold your breath waiting for a response.

Not really sure....you mentioned prices over here but I was not sure if you were relating to USA and here or Malaysia and here. Probably makes no difference at all to be honest but I was bored. Lol

Yes it has but the eliminator looks the same other than that, it's a good lid that served me well for years
