Helmets

[Jen]

What's your favorite? I have a cheap one and have been looking around. Atmos is expensive, the Pneumo is cheaper, I like it. Have also looked at the Stylus, about $83.00 with more vents than the Pneumo. Anyone try it?

I like the Pneumo. I tried an Atmos a few months ago when I found one on sale but it didn't fit me as well.

Don't know anything about the Stylus.

Just remember that the more expensive helmets aren't any safer than cheaper ones. The cost is a reflection of the weight and the number of vents (and marketing). Find one that fits well first and foremost. I, personally, don't like those that are gray or black because I'd rather have some additional color for visibility.

I have a Trek WSD helmet that I love. I can't remember the model name, but it's blue with a few red hibiscus flowers on it. It's super light - I usually forget I have it on - it has a lot of vents and it has space for a ponytail in back. I highly recommend it.

Hot screaming lime-green-yellow covered with reflective tape Bell Citi. $48 http://www.bellbikehelmets.com/produ...asp?prodID=10#

WITH a Mutant Guppy on top!

As they shout on the MUTs around here: Pull your head out of your b*tt and put a helmet on it! (we're a little excitable here in America's SECOND Best Cycling City)

ETA: and the Citi has a rounded back, so no faux-aero pointy bit to catch on the pavement when you crash and cause you to snap your neck.

I have the Bell Citi too...in a dark dark red with seagulls on it...I llike it because it got great reviews and it looks like a jockey's cap...
