Looking to get a full face instead of using my old moto x helmet. Looking to spend under $200. I've ridden with the proframe and liked it, just seeing if theres anything else to consider or maybe someone can lead me to some sweet deals
 
Bell super DH.

Trail helmet and DH helmet.
With a removable chin bar.
 
I have the Bell Super and while I do love it, it doesn’t give me a ton of confidence when bombing down the double blacks. Thankfully I haven’t had to find out how strong the chin piece is yet... if you aren’t riding the really gnarly stuff then it actually is a great helmet.

I just read that it meets all the high dh standards and has the newer mips version as well, which is a bit reassuring
 
I wear a well aged Bell Super, and have been really happy with it. I wear it for everything though not just gravity, and only really remove the chinbar for rail trail rides with my kids, so I could do without the removable feature. I've ridden moto in a full face most of my life so having a chinbar feels normal to me, despite the looks I get on long rides.

What sold me on it was the weight/price/venting. At the time I got it it was one of the lighter full face options (700-ish grams range) and reasonably priced. I think the fox proframe and the Met Parachute are in the same weight range but without the removable chinbar.

Since I wear mine for everything, weight and venting are pretty important, but if it's just for gravity riding, a heavier burlier helmet might be better?

regardless, I've been happy with the Bell, and would probably buy another when it wears out.
 
For me the main issue has been finding a fullface that fits well. None of the Bell helmets fit well. I ended up with a 100% for that reason, but even that isn't perfect unless I'm wearing goggles which help keep it from rotating down on my forehead.

During the US Open at Mtn Creek a few years ago, I took advantage of the vendor area and test-fitted as many helmets as I could.

That's another issue. I dont know many shops locally that would carry the full faces I'm interested in. All I have to go off is the fox proframe I previously rode with
 
@Santapez has a brand new full face helmet he never used. On the road right now... We'll get you details later if you're interested.

This 100% ;) though my fit was troy Lee, yes it's the coach bag of helmets but it's for the head damn it.
