Gmax are great helmets, priced very well. For goggles i'd go for scott or spy.

Shift helmets, One industries helmets are great helmets. priced decent and look sweeet. 509 sinisters are great goggles run around 80 bucks. Dragon Optix are good goggles as well. Scott goggles are tried and trued goggles so they are great too.

I recommend the ToBe helmet with either 509 goggles or ProGrip light sensitive goggles. Very comfortable and looks great. Helmet is $200 and goggles are around $65 each. The helmet is a small make though so you would need to order one size larger than normal. I have no complaints with my helmet or goggles. The bottom trim on the helmet started to come off but a small dab of superglue fixed it.Heres a couple pics.

I like my Polaris red momentum helmet. Its kinda like a powdercoat paint job on it, kinda cool. Very comfortable helmet and has worked so far for keepin my head free of damage on a few occasions. My FXR adrenaline goggles are great with a set of quick straps. Real happy with my set-up.

HJC CL-X5 Arena Helmet with 509 goggles. I bought both of them just after Christmas and I don't regret it either...they are fantastic. Get a clear lens for the goggles too, the standard lens is tough for night riding.

HJC Helmets look good and are priced pretty nicely. Thor hero goggles seem to work best for my taste.

i have a polaris Switchback helmet which is the same as ericks. I use these spy goggles and love them, match perfectly too and look real sick with the mirror lens. Error: File 128258 doesn't exist in gallery!
1st of all the real weight of the xp is 439.
2nd it is how the engine makes the hp through out the rpm range.
3rd the Dragon 800sp has the Ripsaw track 1.25.
4th ,you have no idea of what you are talking about.
5th get the F-CK out and stop bashing.
6th your Mach z 1000 is a chit box.
I may be a retard, but I'm the smartest one I know.

I've got a Matte Fox V3 helmet that i absolutely love. The thing weighs like nothing and its made out of carbon fiber and kevlar so its super strong. I have Oakley Crowbar Snowcross goggles that I am semi-happy with, they fog up if you sweat alot when its really cold out. I've got a pair of Smith goggles that I carry as a spare pair.
