Helmets & Helmet Suggestions

But made in italy ;)

But made in italy ;)

Are Mets not?

I have one in front of me. But cant see where its made.

Anyway. I was wondering if it shared a Met mold. In which case it would likely be pretty round in shape. Most of the italian brands are. But the Mets more so than most I think. I'm hoping my new Giro will be slightly less round, and more like the Met Sine Thesis.

Thoughts on the Power Race C-130 from planet-x?

But how about this side?

Does have a lot in common with a Met stradivarius. Possible not the 2013.

Didn't get on with the Sine Thesis at all. Fit was a bit funny for my head and the gel padding gave me a headache.

Highly recommend the Kask Mojito. Very light, excellent cooling and super comfortable - with or without a cap.

(Other head shapes may differ).

So, anyone know somewhere in London where I could get a Rudy Project Windmax, which will also do price matching? Condor have them in stock but won't do a discount, even on the used display model :(

actually looks pretty cool imo

The Met being a smidge too round is what stops he Met Strad from being perfect. This then makes that gel bit dig in.

Got the Rudy Windmax. Radness confirmed.

I really like POC

Might get something like that for snowbiking, and skiing.

The POC receptor is my first chioce though.

there was a guy at the track on Monday wearing one of those POC helmets - fuckin hell they are big. Looked like he was wearing a bin on his head or something.

100% anti.

I meant this one.

For winter use.

If you'd seen me ski, or cycle a snow covered trail. You'd understand the desire for a little extra protection.

I'm thinking about the Cosco SpeedAiro
.
Anyone spent any time under one on the road this summer?

that looks nice. You will look like a right knob anywhere that isn't the track or a TT though

^^ needs a bigger picture. I can barely see it.

This takes some beating...

Why? He's merely preparing to play TracMan.

Giro Saros are £55 on Merlin (rrp £100)
Bought a Matt Titanium coloured one for myself

i want a POC trabe MIPS helmet, who has them cheapest?

Trabec MIPS has arrived. Fits really well, feels really sturdy but not heavy.

MIPS system feels odd as the helmet has the ability to slide a couple of mm in all directions to stop jarring forces on the brain. However the helmet feels really secure. Will be used later today for offroad duties.

I can't personally wear anything other than a Giro, absolutely in love with them! Riding an Atmos at the moment and its like i don't have anything on my head. So light and comfortable

I like Giro's, but they feel like they are poor value for money. The build quality is basic, and so is the finish. The rol-loc system is also awful - I replaced it 3 times in 2 years on my Atmos, (which I have to say protected my head admirably in a crash last week). I also replaced the pads 4 or 5 times because they anti-bacterial stuff they are supposed to have is so poor.

Had to replace in a hurry so bought a Kask k50 - I have to say that the build quality is so much better than the Giro and it's much more comfortable.

I'll also be getting a Lazer on crash replacement from Madison - will be interesting to see how they compare.
