    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...

    Both DH and I are giro heads!! And “Freds”. My DH mounted a small led maglite to the top of our helmets for spotting low hanging tree branches and the darn things really work!! He attached them through the top vents of the helmets with black velcro wrist wraps so they can be easily removed. On our recent moonlight group ride, several riders asked where we got the cool helmet lights, not realizing that they were maglites. Whatever works is fine with me. I am not so much into brand name but want good quality and functionality. And it is important to get your helmet fitted properly, just like your bike.

    Ok, so I went helmet shopping tonight and I am definitely NOT a Giro head even though I like the look of Giro better than Bell! My LBS only carries Bell and Giro so I went with another Bell which is much more comfortable for me. When I tried on the Giros I kept feeling like something was poking me on the top of my head. Bell Furio for me!

    Oh boy, new stuff!

    What color did you get? And is the color to match your bike or your mood?

    This is the one I got-white and silver http://bikeguyswarehouse.com/itemdet...FYVM5QodDCdYRw

    My bike is black, white, and blue so I figured this would look good with the bike and whatever I was wearing!
