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.![]()
