Why don't you send Matt a pm. playak.com/index.php?option=com_comprofi...ser=5768&Itemid= I have never tried one on but I believe they fit even very large skulls.

Adrian, i didnt mean 'poor man's' as in any way derogatory....just it looks incredibly similar to a Sweet strutter and is well....a lot cheaper! Dolly

It does look similar and is cheaper. Might be a good option for many people...

But still, if your wanting to go for a cheaper option, you will get a decent helmet with the predator lee, they're quite big though ( one size fits all kind of thing) I'd quite like to try one to see how it is, a guy i know had one shipped over from the US, and was \"pleasantly suprised\", in his words

dolly Topic Author Offline Premium Member Posts: 76 Thank you received: 0	Thanks for your opinions guys, i think when i have some cash i will be getting one! looks like if you want one you will have to order for Predator I PMed Matt from Predator (thanks for the link adrian!) and he says that shipping to England is around $30, the Lee is only $89.95, so at $119.95, that isn't too bad a price, though you won't be able to try it on first.

Dude, you get what you pay for. The reason sweet's cost is so high is that they are expensive to make. Buy a used boat or paddle, but pfd's and helmet's you shouldnt skimp on. I'm on my second strutter and am thankful I have it every time I tag a rock. Ive busted my shoulder from hits that also got my head, but the head was fine. If youre looking for a good cheap helmet check out WRSI. FNA also makes some cool helmets and you've got Happy 2b in europe, not too cheap, but cool looking as well.
