    I use the Skyla.



    Not nearly as "impressive" as Jo's (Thank goodness!) here's mine after I tumbled down a 10 foot cliff. The dents are where I hit rocks or trees.

    Thanks for posting the pics Jobob and Veronica. We could all use a reminder now and then why we wear helmets.

    Glad to hear that everyone is ok.

    I wear a Giro E2, which isn't women's sizing because they switched over to the little round dial thingy for adjustment. The round dial thingy really cuts into the notch at the back of my head. I tried on tons of helmets with dials and hated all of them. So it is definitely a matter of head size and shape along with personal preference.

    Bell Furio. I have a big round head. It's almost as wide as it is long. The Furio has lots of vents and is pretty lightweight. Dh's Bell Metropolis is a bit heavier than my Furio. I borrowed it once and my neck hurt after. DD has a similar shaped head as me and wears a Bell. DS's head is quite a bit longer than it is wide and he wears a Giro.

    2d

    I have a Specialised 2D helmet & works great for me. I think the vents are great esp when it's 35C+

    Jo, my helmet cracked the same way when i had my off...All the way up the side...
