This is basically what I did. I liked the Specialized Decibel's fit system the best, but I didn't like the price. So I found an end of season sale on the next step down (Aurora that someone pictured) that had the same closure system online. I found one for about $65-70.

It took me a while to figure out if I wanted a "women's" helmet and what brand. And I needed to figure out my hat size, since the only hat size I knew includes what it takes to stuff my hair up in it (horseback riding helmet).

I know Specialized makes some loud yellow ones, and they have some other orange stuff, so maybe you can find an orange one by them if you like the fit.

YAY.............my boyfriend collected and paid for my lovely Specialized Aurora in blue/black.

Have fiddled about adjusting it, so, tomorrow, it get's christened.

Thanx guys for the encouragement.
