Needa new helmet

[[BMF] Chris]

well, since i cracked my helmet getting hit by that truck the other day, i need to buy a new helmet. i usually buy 1 a year anyway and this one was going on 2 years. the past like 4 years ive had phenmos or however you spell it. a road type helmet but i liked it. im debating on if i want like a mtb helmet with a visor or not.i remember seeing some french rider with an awesome white helmet, had the uci stripes, and just big holes in the front. i think it was a roadie one too but i was wondering if anyone knew what i was talking about...... no buckets for me, my head is already big and a skateboard type helmet would just look retarded on me......

omg, too bad it costs like 250 dollars, you cant even get them in the US

some nignog in europe can probably hook you up

The pneumo, which is probably what you had before, comes with a visor now. It's for the 'classics' where a little protection from the rain is nice.

The Bell Sweep, in the mtb version, is essentially the the road version with a visor on it. It's been on the podium a few times.

The top shit in the Giro line up is the Ionos. UBER light. BIG hole in the front. No visor though.

Take a look at Spiuk, too. I'm not familiar with the line up, but a few domestic road teams ride with them with decent results.

Good luck, buckets suck.

chris you had an atmos, that was your last helmet. get a ionos if you want no visor, or get the new D2 from specialized thats pretty nice as well. before you buy let me know and i'll see if i can get cheap. i'm planing a trip out that way for march 29,30,31 and can bring you a new helmet.

It's the best damn helmet out there.

No helmet and no gloves is really the way to go.

No gloves + helmet is actually the way to go.

Fox something or other is a top helmet.

[MIKE1968]

that would be like using a condom in thailand, just not necessary.

Giro Pneumo is really nice, and it comes with a visor now. Bell Sweep is also a good choice.

holler (unless its cold, then gloves go on)

if i were to have a dome piece on I'd go Bern. They are pretty casual skate style, but not super bulk, and surprisingly comfortable, great for those times when you have to have protection.
