Full face helmet buying advice

Hey everyone, I'm new to the sport at the ripe age of 39 and riding the local pump track. Currently I hire everything from the club where they say they use motocross helmets but I'm mobdro lucky patcher kodi now looking to get my own helmet. Looking online (in the UK) I can see a massive price difference between helmets and some seem to be for MTB downhill and I'm really not sure if these are suitable for bmx racing or what I'm actually looking for.

Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere to help me figure out what I'm looking for, or make some recommendations? Are there any brands to avoid? Or any brands where I just can't go wrong? I'm just looking for an entry level helmet for a reasonable price that's going to keep my head the right shape when I hit the dirt hard.

Thanks for any advice.
 
Re:

When I used to ride freestyle bitd the Bell moto 5 was THE helmet to have. We couldn't afford that, we all had cheap moto cross helmets with the thinking if it's good enough for moto cross it'll do the job.
