Scomo:
I hear you loud and clear, budget! However, I will offer one thing: broken arm, cast, learn to brush teeth w/ off-hand, relatively easy…Broken Head…not so much. Wear $30 gloves and less expensive shoes and suit for now…spend your hard earned cash protecting the thing that is the most difficult to fix!
Personally, I wear the Bell GTX and am very happy with it. Arai…awesome as well. There are lots of good brands out there…go w/ fit and don’t buy entry level.
Best,
Troy
