What color is your Helmet?

[crazybikinchic]

I have the Discovery helmet without all the logos. DH found it on sale. Bike is black, silver, and white, so goes with everything. I agree with others on black. I won't even get a black jersey because of the heat factor. I was disappointed this past year when I went to the HHH. I was going to buy a jersey, but they were black. I can't justify paying $70 for something that I will not wear because of the heat.

My biking helmet is bright yellow. Anything that will help in any tiny way to help cars see me better is the right color for me.
On the other hand, my roller skating helmet is black. Not much chance of getting hit by a car in the roller rink! Besides, the rink floor is white, so black stands out anyway. In the rink, little kids are going to fall across your path no matter what you wear. So....bike wear=visibility, roller rink wear=padding.

With my figure, there is never any doubt that I am a 'girl'....no need to clarify it with pink like they do with babies so you can tell what sex they are.

Mine is a light blue Giro; fit and visibility are the 2 main factors I consider, as well as the lighter color + vents to reflect the heat instead of absorb it.
Sometimes, when I see riders in all dark colors/helmet too, without anything reflective on, it's very, very hard to spot while driving. Even if it's a sunny day, I know how a rider can be almost invisible in the shade or road shadows, until a driver is almost upon them. Being a rider, I think that I'm (we all are, I'm sure) more alert to looking for and spotting other riders while I'm driving, but some riders make it near impossible, when they ride dark bikes, with dark clothes, dark helmets and no lights or reflective items, yes, even on a sunny day...so, if a lighter-colored helmet is the only thing that catches a driver's eye, then I'm going to make sure I've got it on my head!

One is black & purple which goes quite nicely with my mountain bike (black with metallic purple bottle holder). The other is lavender & silver. It doesn't match my other bike (blue) but I like purple/lavender & blue combos. I wanted the colors primarily. Since my LBS didn't have the fit in stock they special ordered them for me.
