Re: [RBW] I need a new helmet and am hoping for advice

[Clayton.sf]

with helmets the key thing is fit. buy the one that fits. Most Giro and and 
Bell mediums for me we'll, but poc and catlike don't.

[Bill in Roswell GA]

I like the way POCs fit my wide head. Good ventilation. Pretty light. 
Fairly costly. 

Team Cannondale is riding them on the Pro Tour this year. 

Cheers,
Bill in Roswell, GA

[Davey Two Shoes]

I recent bought a gyro synthe, to my eye its looks like a fancier/aero 
aspect. I know its not what you're looking for but it is supremely 
comfortable!

Re: [RBW] I need a new helmet and am hoping for advice

[John Stowe]

I have been riding a Giro Sutton MIPS since December 2015 and find it very 
comfortable. Much lighter than the Nutcase it replaced. It's on Sierra 
Trading Post right now for $55, if you don't mind neon yellow. I don't use 
a mirror so no advice there.

Giro have some "normal" - looking SPD shoes, too, which I would wear if 
they made them a size or two larger!

I recently purchased a POC helmet, in part because it doesn’t look “racy” or 
aero. They have many models, but I bought this one:

[Will]

I switched to equestrian helmets several years ago. They are better 
looking, more comfortable, and a much better value: plenty of protection, 
less attitude.

[RBW] I need a new helmet and am hoping for advice

[Surlyprof]

Bo,

I recently bought a helmet from the REI Garage.  If you are a member, they 
often have sales around Memorial Day.  When they have sales, they usually give 
an additional 20% off.  I took advantage of this last Laber Day. Returns are 
easy, too.

John

Bo, I bought this Giro helmet at Nashbar ($55) because of its rounded
shape, I liked the parallel lines. No lights or mirrors.

Re: [RBW] i need a new helmet

I wanted to add, you can find Berns on clearance somewhat often.  I got
mine from REI outlet for less than $70 including the winter liner.

Re: [RBW] i need a new helmet

[Tim Gavin]

I'm happy with my Bern helmet.  It's light and fits well (rare for me, I
wear the XXXL size).  Berns have snap-in liners, and most models have an
optional thicker liner for winter riding.

My only criticism with Berns is that most aren't vented well. My Brentwood
is too warm to wear in mid-summer; I have a Giro I wear during warm
weather.  The Bern Allston/Morrison models have better venting, and the New
FL-1 is starting to look like the vented "alien" helmets from many other
makers.

[RBW] I need a new helmet and am hoping for advice

[bo richardson]

i am in the market for a mid price range helmet that is not very aero.
not aero. i am not worried about air slamming into the vacuum behind my helmet 
at speeds in excess of 12 mph.

polo helmet-ish would be nice. if i could get one with lights built an and 
a mirror as part of the helmet that would be perfect. 

mirrors  on the glasses earpiece bend the glasses out of shape.

i would also buy a pair of glasses with an integrated mirror if that were 
available.

does anyone have a suggestion?

thanks so much

bo
