I'm pretty much with Dammit here.
I bought a new helmet last week, it was expensive but i'm happy with it. Given that I'm doing 200k extra p/w at the moment in training i'll get value for money.
Still won't always wear it for commuting though, I just pootle when I'm riding fixed at the moment.
Oh and gloves, always gloves. I learned when I used to race DH that if you loose the skin off your palms it takes a LONG time to grow back and it's bloody painful.
