Looking for a helmet for my wife

It doesn't have to be fancy, it doesn't even have to be a full-face helmet. I'm just looking for something relatively cheap but in good shape for my wife to wear on a nice sunday ride every once in a while. She's only ridden with me once before and she enjoyed it, but she doesn't want me to buy a brand new helmet because she would barely use it.

She would probably be wearing a small. Anyone in Columbia have a helmet you don't use?

I would advise getting a proper fitting full face helmet even if that means having to buy a new one. The price shouldn't be a reflection of "how often" it is used, but the one time it is needed.

a helmet has a service/shelf life. you won't know the history of a used one.

I recently tossed a Aria Quatum in the garbage. less than 300 miles ride time - mint condition... but it was 10 years old

buy a gmax g58, i bought one of my female passenger and she loves it, it has silk stuff on the inside and it doesnt pull on her hair... its like 100 dollars, i bought one for myself after feeling hers, they are nice well valued helmets... i also have an arai, shoei, bell star, and agv... its a good value, a little bit noiser, and less racing... def better then the 200 dollar helmets

How much do you care for your passenger? Give them the most helmet you can afford!

We've got several nice ones for not much money. I'm really liking the new Scorpions but that's just me. You're welcome to come by the shop and try on as many as you like. Just ask for Ron, and refer to this thread.
