A very, very high viz helmet with reflective strips is the hardnutz, available in the US from here: http://www.skiweb-usa.com/shop/hardn...s-cycle-helmet
This is a one size fits all helmet and too big for me.

As far as the Lazer goes, DH bought me one "on sale," and I hated it. Couldn't get used to the weird mechanism to tighten and it felt wrong compared to my Giro. I gave it to my son, who has a little head.

Since my Giro feels so perfect I don't think that I want to try the risk of the Lazer without trying it on first. No LBS carry them around here so that is out. Actually, no LBS carry the Giro either right now. Wrong time of year.

goldfinch,
Both Competitive Cyclist and Performance Bike have great return policies and carry Lazer helmets (which some people in this forum really like), as well as Giro helmets. I am waiting for the 2012 Lazer Helium to show up: high visibility yellow.
I will try both the Giro (also in high vis. yellow this year) and that Lazer helmet. What attracts me to the Lazer helmet is the availability of a clear shell one can snap on for cool weather riding, as well as winter padding.

I'm one of those on this forum who happens to LOVE her Lazer 02 helmet.
It's not hi-viz, but I'm okay with that because it fits me so well. Got mine at Performance, on sale.

Thanks for the tip on Performance and Competitive Cyclist. Too bad they don't have the high visibility Lazer and Giro yet.

Goldfinch, thanks for the link to the hi-viz Xar. The color is perfect and I love the fit. It just went on my Amazon wish list
