Hey Ladies, im new here! im getting my first street bike today (hopefully) and im in desperate need of a helmet. I dont want to wear my dirtbike helmet...i want a proper one. Ive been looking online for a ladies helmet but havent come across anything that i like (not much choice) i dont really want a super pink one that screams HEY IM A GRL RIDER!! i just want a somewhat feminen helmet. something young and sexy! lol im 21 so im wanting something hot i think

any suggestions? wheres a good website to go for this? of for that matter, is there a site that has a wider selection for womens gear?

Go to each manufacturer's web site and see what they have; when you find one you like, head to your neighborhood dealer/Cycle Gear/Independent shop and try on the same brand and model helmet if you can. If it fits, they can order you the exact version you want.
I like Cycle Gear simply because of their selection and their willingness to order stuff; plus once you get it you have 7 days to decide it it's the right helmet after all.
There are a lot of nice, feminine lids out there, you just have to dig through stuff to find what fits your idea of hot and feminine.

Shark, Scorpion, KBC and others all have women's helmets. Some very flashy and some more subtle.
Like Thumper said, go try helmets on at a shop before you order online. Helmets vary so much in size and shape from maker to maker and from model to model.

My helmet came from here

I like the full face type of helmet, but can also raise the shield to let in air as well. . .also they have a good price. I have a Cycle Gear near my house, and they are a great store, I buy alot of things from them. . .good place to check out sizes, but I found this website will beat their prices on helmets.

First ...
In response to your question about helmets (assuming you haven't already found one) what is your price range? Where are you located? I too like Cycle Gear, mine had a good selection to try on and ordered me the color I liked but I'm not sure if they're located outside of the States.
Sadly no specific website comes to mind but here's a few links...
Scorpion: Here's one that was mentioned elsewhere that's feminine and non-pink.

Icon has a few, although most are pink (go-go, regal, women's hooligan--aka kitty)

Good luck, ride safe
