Helmets & Helmet Suggestions

messes up my hair

Anyone ever use a OGK? I want to spend less than a 100 quid and these seem really unique.

Found reviews of thrm as Kabuto MS-2, apparently designed in Japan then made in Singapore. No mention of CE markings or testing to EN whatever so they might not be intended for UK sale.

I'd say use a retailer you trust and know will have legit stock, fake helmets are a thing now.

Anyone seen Bolle The One yet? Can't decide if another piece of great French design or a monstrous carbuncle.

The latter.

Having had the opertunity to ride my road bike in non freezing temps in Mallorca. I've realised that the rachet on my large Giro Air Attack bottoms out before its Nice and snug. If I dont have a cap/buff under it.

Really want to swap it for a medium. Or sell it for funds towards a medium. As its a great helmet.

White, helmet in awesome condition, lens needs some TLC (bit of rust on the magnets preventing Nice snappy attachment).

I have it listed locally. But thought I'd try my Luck mentioning it here.

No medium air attack Shields around then :(

Just got Evans to price match wiggle for a Giro Foray with mips.
Price match so if anything is wrong I can just pop into Evans rather than post it.
£47.
25% of the Synthe with mips cost and 50% of the looks.

I'll be returning the foray mentioned above. It's a great helmet. Comfortable. Reasonably light. But it's huge... Bulbous comes to mind.

Doesn't look too bad.

Is it any ibgger than the synthe?

I guess its more of a sharp end, than curved into the head

Looks ok to mee too... Lazer Genesis/Helium are nicer ended and bit narrower, Casco SpeedAiro is bulkier because of its back, but always function over form! (SpeedAiro mask keeps my eyes with contact lenses from drying too much)

Hmmm, I'll have to try the synthe on to compare. The helmet is pretty thick so the edges sit quite far out from the head. Wasn't great for turning the peak up on a cap. Probably being a bit critical of it there though. I'll try a synthe on with a cap and see what that's like.

What helmet was it replacing?

You do look more live your avatar now though...

Sort of replacing but not completely a lazer o2. Which does have a slightly lower profile... I thought with it having mips and a similar look to the synthe it would be a good addition at the price.
The lazer is getting on for 3 years old. Still works (I hope)

Haha! Well spotted!

Can anyone suggest a cheap and compact style helmet ? Looking to spend around £50. This any good ?

Thank you

The Foray is much bigger than the Synthe. Looks really bulky in comparison.

Commenting on a helmets bulbous profile - does not compute.

It's a helmet, it will look shit. Ask yourself, Does it fit, is it ventilated well, is it comfortable? is it really worth paying more than £40 for a piece of styrofoam?

Sigma sport have a sale on lots of lazer mips kask etc extra 10% off Easter weekend too.

I'm liking Bontrager aero offering.

I wanted to size down my aero lid. Wanted something With very little top or side ventilation.

Quite a few options out there. But I think I found the most silly looking.

Pre-ordered....
