Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

Carnac whenever PX have them on offer at £15 or less.

I have one of the retroreflective Carnacs at the moment that's great (other than the roadie looks) and I actually ordered another one in black a month or so ago. Different model but the same large-extra large 58-61cm size and it was visibly much smaller than the one I have and wouldn't even go on my head.

I contacted PX and they said they'd changed supplier for the helmets and that was why the difference in sizing.

The dial on my current one is always done right up so I must at the smaller end of the size range but the new ones are just a different shape or something.

I've ordered a Brand-X EH1 that I intend to remove the peak from and think it'll make fairly nice innocuous helmet that'll suit all the riding I do and I can always chuck the peak back on if I'm shredding the gnar on the mtb.

May I suggest that the thread you want is this one? :)

Ate tarmac and got knocked tfo.

Memory is a bit shot to shit, and I got to remember that my father had died all over again.

Sounds rough. Hope you're on the mend.

Careful, he might forget he’s not actually George Clooney.

Heal up soon.

Need a new helmet and like the look of the Met Strale. They mention a 'dualgel' front helmet pad. Anybody have any experience of this stuff? n.b. I sweat a lot and am thinking it won't work for me...

I had a helmet with that and hated it. I sweat a normal amount and it was horrendous.

Transport secretary thanks his helmet after splitting his lip

That's superficially a non sequitur, but if he damaged his helmet then its not entirely unreasonable for him to suggest that without it he would have damaged that part of his head which was covered by the helmet

My helmet after a tumble on Friday. It is being binned. I am still suffering after effects of concussion and had a composite filling on my smashed incisor this morning.

And I am not Grant Shapps before anyone tries to claim five pounds.

Oof. How did that happen?

Off road on Friday. Stacked it, face planted and knocked myself out for a moment.

Composite filling snapped this evening less than 12 hours old.

Unfortunate DJ.

Interesting approach. Makes sense.
I'd suggest they advise riders not to wear than rather than ban.
Choice is important in what to wear

Strikes me as a bit gimmicky for PR purposes rather than a true stance.

I don't think there are any studies either way to definitively show the stuff they are saying. Would have been better to give the riders the option.

Irrespective of their stance - if they're drawing conclusions from, and acting on, a literature review, perhaps they should seek to publish.

Or maybe perform a systematic analysis of the related studies.
