What brand helmet do you wear?

[margo49]

Had a bell. Crashed. Got a bit of a concussion and a broken nose (kiwi beak?!) which was nothing compared to what I would have got had I *not* been wearing a helmet .Now got a Giro. The Giro fits real nice and doesn't move on my head at all. Nice ventilation which is important in our temp's

We have a tiny lbs and I figure that if it is Giro or bell it is "certified" so it's ok - don't really care as long as it works when it has to. Which I hope it won't.

I got a Bell Ghisallo - it was on sale, and it looks sweet! (I just got my first road bike on Saturday- I had a Giro sport/mountain helmet that I got when I bought my old hybrid)

Awhile ago I found this review of a consumer reports review
http://www.helmets.org/cu_2006.htm

I never thought of helmets being safer than each other, but I guess consumer reports says there are differences.
They like the Bell Metro.
I tried it on - very uncomfortable. I ended up with the Specialized that consumer reports also listed as a good helmet.
I also have a Louis Garneou.
The Bell/Giros are all more round than my head and therefore uncomfortable.

I have a Giro Monza. Love it. Found it on clearance last year.

That being said though - definitely try on lots of different helmets. Figure out how they adjust and how well it molds to your head. I found out the hard way that not all helmets fit everyone the same - my first one was too big and let's just say, awkward to ride with. ha ha ha

I have a Giro Skyla and a Bell... The Bell is much more comfortable, but the Skyla breathes a lot better. hmm.
