What color is your Helmet?

**HillSlugger** · 03-20-2008, 05:09 PM

My first helmet was dark red and kinda matched my bike. My second helmet is a neutral mid-grey.

I have a black helmet and a silvery gray helmet.

The orange helmet would go with my orange tires and orange tape!

First I start with helmet fit and then price range, then colors that I like...and I usually stick to the lighter colors for the heat thing whether it's true or not and somewhat for visibility.
My road helmet is light grey, yellow and white and happens to somewhat match my bike,
My mtb helmet is white and blue-green and doesn't match any of my 4 mtbs. Oh well.

My helmet is gray with an iridescent design on it. I got it because it was pretty and not too expensive. It does not match my bike but it does not clash with my bike.

My bike is turquoise so I guess you could say it "goes" with my bike.

Bright screaming neon lime-yellow, with reflective tape all over it, reflective straps, and a 3-way blinkie (mutant guppy) on top.

My sweetie bought it for me. She wants me to be visible.

My helmet is a white Trek Vapor because a) it was inexpensive, b) it was light weight and it fit well, and c) I didn't like the other color choices (black or blue).

Strange as this may sound, I spent almost 18 months trying to find a helmet in the colour(s) I wanted, price range and fit. didn't feel like spending over $200 on helmet.

It drove me abit nuts...in the end it's a red helmet I got under $100.00. I wanted something just flashy in right way, but more visible in bright yellow or similar. Visibility is way more important to me. I never thought of matching helmet to any of my bikes.. at any point in time.

I definitely wanted to avoid predominantly dark colours..I have black hair..just makes zero sense.

I think that was the same as my first helmet. It looked really neat, and not too darn girly! I replaced it when I had a crash, not that it cracked or looked damaged at all, but just to be safe. Then I had a white one with "mint" green swirly flower-type things on it, and replaced that when I crashed and it cracked.

Now I have a bright blue Bell Vela (with iridescent flowers -- I only noticed those later -- so much for avoiding girlyness!), because that's what they had at the bike shop that felt comfy when I was there. As a back-up helmet I kept the gray/iridescent one, but I really just have the one helmet. I've never even heard of having multiple helmets to match your bike/outfit until now!

i have three.
the one i wear on my daily commute is - pink.
the one i wear on rides is - pink.
my TT helmet is - pink.

unlike some of you babes, i look kinda mannish, so i compensate with pink. and very long hair.
and still get called 'sir'.

My helmet is red and silver. It didn't match anything at first, but now it does match my folding bike. An accident. I have it because it fits like no other. It's my second specialized helmet and I have yet to find another one that is as comfortable as this one on me.

**IFjane** · 03-20-2008, 06:25 PM

"crystal blue & silver" The silver matches my bike....sort of.....and blue, well, blue is my favorite color. Does it match my bike? Not really. Does it match what I wear.....not really. *lol*

**echidna** · 03-20-2008, 08:59 PM

Pink and leopard-spotted Giro. It's, um, visible.

**jesvetmed** · 03-20-2008, 10:35 PM

Light grey, black trim.

I had to laugh.. when I read the thread's Title, all I could think of was that darned book we had to read in school: What Color is Your Parachute? So glad this wasn't a similar reference!

I have a red helmet to match my old red bike that I no longer ride. The helmet and the bike are pretty hideous.

I know sport a white Vigor. I love everything about it. I even love the fact that it makes me head look larger than it actually is.

**Crankin** · 03-21-2008, 02:43 AM

I have 2 helmets. One is blue, with a little yellow in it. I wear it for cold weather riding and leave the straps set up so I can fit the beanie under it. The other helmet is yellow.
All of my helmets have been yellow or blue. I had one really ugly olive green one and that's what I was wearing when I crashed in January of 07.
None of them match my bike, which is black, with a little red and white.
