It's hard to tell the kiddos to put one on if Dad isn't wearing his. I don't wear one when it's really hot, because even with the ventilation I find them uncomfortable. I also don't wear one when it's really cold, as the stuff I wear on my head won't fit under the damn thing.
I do wear one at night, when it's raining, or when visibility is impaired - mine has some reflective striping on it. Being seen is always good. I do think their effectiveness is debatable, but I don't see how it would be bad to have one on if I fell off my bike. > However, I do think that people who wear lycra shorts when > riding a bicycle should be required to wear a full Snell > Approved racing helmet.
