best helmet for learners?

im just about to get my first blade on my l's n im jus wonderin wat helmet you guys reckon is best for learners? i've heard a bit about arai and shoei n i could afford them but im jus wonderin if there's a cheaper alternative that'll do me for now? also, any riders from melbourne australia know of any good locations to pick up some good helmets? thanx guys

checkout KBC they make a excellent helmet for the price...and I can tell you from experience, that a KBC saved my life.
Good fit (similar to Arai), good construction, comfortable, fairly quite, reasonably priced.

thanx mate, i checked out a few today n ended up findin a good kbc n im realli happy with it.. jus wearin it atm to try n break it in lol

My AGV was $300 and very happy with the quality, still using it 2 years down the track and no dramas.

You can get a very decent helmet around the $300 mark these days.
