Looking for bright yellow helmet

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I'm interested in finding a bright yellow helmet. I have a few bright yellow biking clothes, and I also want something that is highly visible in traffic.
I do know about the Bell Citi Helmet, but wondered if there are others around.
I have a SMALL head, so larger men's helmets won't do. Perhaps an adult helmet that fits 21" would do.
Any leads?...

boy that's a tough one. THere are lots of yellow helmets for children. How silly of helmet manufacturers to NOT have yellow! (or flames for that matter!)

It's weird -- there used to be a lot of yellow helmets available. The Giro that I crashed in (my dog accident) was yellow, and my husband still has a bright yellow Giro he bought a few years ago. I guess there are fashion colors in helmets just like with everything else. It does seem irresponsible of the manufacturers not to supply a nice visible color choice like yellow.

They do make little yellow reflective stickers you can put on the back of your any-colored helmets, though. Performance sells them, and I am sure other LBS's must as well.

Good luck!

Thanks. I think reflectors are great for riding after sunset- when they reflect off of car headlights in the dark. But I ride in daylight only, and reflectors (and reflecting stickers) are just not much of anything in broad daylight. So I wanted a screaming yellow helmet, not reflectors. Maybe I'll just have to put battery blinkies on my helmet or something, look like a Martian...
I too think it's really WIERD that there aren't more bright colored helmets. HELLO?? Missed opportunity here???
And why do they think all women cyclists want pink or lavender helmets???? If I had a BIG head at least I could wear the non-girly-girl men's selections more.

P.S. Mimi- cute. Very cute.

I saw helmets in a bike store in Winston Salem with little blinkies built in, standing up off the top of the helmet. Now that would make you look like a Martian

I had been fighting with MSN to login and retrieve my TE password... only to notice that I was still logged on.

Bike Nashbar has a yellow helmet, the Limar 907, currently on sale. They also carry the Bell Ghisallo and a Louis Garneau, but neither is all yellow. The Rudy Project has two helmets available in yellow: the Ayron and the Kontakt...

Here's a picture of the Limar:

and the winner is PLL!

Giro and Limar both have YELLOW helmets!

Good luck

Here's a nice visible lid-cover for the cold and wet season from our swell TE friends:

I have the yellow one and love it.

I love that Limar one, but nobody seems to have it available in yellow, only in the other colors. I found it in one place that supposedly has it in yellow, but they wanted $150 for it- ridiculous, considering other places offer the same Limars for more like $70.
I keep seeing yellow helmets offered and shown in the pictures online, but then when you go to choose your size and color, only the other colors appear in your choices....no yellow.

The other problem is that some of these helmets (and the helmet cover on TE) only have yellow on the sides, and the front and back are some other darker color. Is it wanting too much to seek visibility front and back as well?

you can't get Bike Nashbars yellow helmet? the limar?

[Fredwina]

I think Nashbar and Performance are sold of that model in yellow. it is very nice helmet, though(I have the same model in sliver ) it's also made in Italy vs the far east. I got mine for $50 as a crash replacment.

Yellow is not listed as in stock or available.
That would have been The One, for sure.

OK, I did find that cool Limar yellow helmet in medium here for $79, so I got one:

Hope they actually have it as listed. And special thanks to PLL (pat) for pointing out the groovy Limar to me! It's exactly what I had envisions- just plain super bright yellow all over.
I hope it works out! Will post when I get it. Here's a yellow smiley in the meantime:
