Spare helmet for occasional passenger

I'd like to get a spare helmet for the occasional passenger...female friends, teenage nieces, cousins, etc. I want a DOT/Snell full-face helmet but no fancy graphics. Just a good basic helmet at a good price.

I have a Suzuki GS500F, so any passengers will have to be fairly trim or petite. I could post photos of people I would like to be passengers but don't want anyone to get distracted from the original question. :wink:

What do you guys recommend, and what size would be a good one to pick with the understanding that it might not fit everyone perfectly?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Doug

Like XJRjohn said, they will sonn start to multiply. But if yea really want something now, I would also go with an HJC, they are nice and not too expensive.

Agreed with above - still a good idea to pick a tried and tested brand, like HJC as even though it may only be for occasional use, it still needs to be as safe as one you'd wear yourself!

it's doesn't necessarily mean having a spare helmet will cause you to buy. once you spend years of driving your motorcycles, slowly you will notice yourself having a collection from the old to the newest ones! :wink:
