what kind of helmet do you wear?

I'm from the streetbike scene and will be getting my first wheeler soon. Why would I buy a dirt bike style helmet to wear instead of a streetbike helmet? This is probably a dumb question but hey I'm dumb.

If you already have a street bike helmet then just use that..
Be careful though because from what I hear dirt, etc will scratch the irdium lenses.

One of the members of MPR wears one..

I would think a streetbike helmet would be hot, I wear a Dirtbike helmet and I love it, best fitting helmets

Torq Octane Grey. For 90$ I liked it better than my HJC CLX-4 Fuel.

Just get a dirtbike helmet. They are much lighter, not as hot and don't have a face shield. Street Bike helmets cost a lot more so you will get all pissed off when it falls off your quad compared with a $100 dirt bike helmet.

My helmate is much more comfortable, much more precise than a CLX-4 Fuel. My CLX-4 fell apart really fast.

02 HJC Snowcross Helmet. Flat black paint, broken (painted) chrome visor, cold weather nose piece removed.
But I think the new helmet this year is gonna be an Icon. Good fit, good looks, and at $225 I can buy a red one and a black one for the price of an Arai.
