I tried different helmets and I had been told that the Catlikes are the ones I would probably prefer the best for this. Not the nicest looking ones, but they do amazing job and are super light.


Based upon this recommendation I bought a Catlike yesterday. I went to a new bicycle shop last week, and saw them in person and it seemed to fit so I purchased it yesterday. It is pretty light, although not shockingly so (my other helmets are mid-range Bontranger and Giro). I haven't played around with the fit (they come with different padding options to customize the fit - I have no clue whether I have a round head or an oblong head) but it doesn't move too much and it does seem amazingly light and cool. My only issue so far is that the helmet comes pretty low on the back of my head so I haven't figured out exactly where to place my ponytail to make it most comfortable :-)
