What do you all recommend for a helmet? I don't have a ton of money to spend but looking for something safe..

Kudos for your concern for safety for you and your passengers

I think the most popular ones are MX (Motocross) type but even the 1/2 helmets you get at WalMart are DOT approved and better than nothing! Some folks shy away from the full helmets because they are afraid they may be too hot to wear but most of them have bunches of ventilation features so they really aren't all that bad. I added a helmet communications kit to my MX type which really makes it nice if you car-to-car communications or even just an intercom.

The wife wanted new matching helmets so we can ride at some of the public riding areas. I searched all over looking at different brands and came across these. They are left over new 2013 models for $39. I got three helmets and three Scott goggles for $200 shipped to my door. They are very comparable to any of the $100-120 helmets I was looking at the polaris dealership.

I've been wearing a ZOX Fiction MX style helmet for a couple of years now. Before that I had always worn HJC. When I shopping for the last helmet, I didn't like the HJC graphics & went w/ the ZOX.

There is no such thing as a motorcycle helmet that is the safest helmet because the safety and protection of your head is so important and can never be guaranteed. The best advice I can give is to stay safe and use the helmet that fits you best and that you feel comfortable with. This will help you avoid accidents and head injuries.
