Giros for the road and the mountain. They fit my head well and when I need new pads I email them and they send me some for free.![]()
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
ditto re: safety--all the same as long as they are certified.
I currently use a LAS (it is what we sold at the bike shop I worked at and the giro did not fit.
In the past, the other helmets I have used--bell (it was great!) and specialized.
I don't know about anyone else, but--I've got psoriasis (anyone remember Sonny and Cher's skit: "The Heartbreak of Psoriasis?)--so, I require MANY vents to prevent my forehead from breaking out.
What I like about the las (aside from the fit) is that it has a liner in the helment that I can throw in the washing machine.
A Bell somethingorother. Requirements were A) cheap B) fits my head and C) comes in red. Got everything I wanted with much less trouble than the last time I shopped for helmets. The clickywheel in the back is nice since I can get the helmet to fit solid and level on my head, even if my hair is up in a French twist. No more choking helmet straps either.
