I have a older high end Bell that is ok. I don't understand why you would pay $100 for a helmet when the $20 Schwin is good?[/QUOTE]

I go to the LBS and start at the cheaper helmets and go up till I find a helmet that fits- has the right colour (No flashy Orange ones for me)- has the right certification and feels comfortable. Unfortunately that has not always stopped at the $100 mark.

And Back to that Peak/Visor-- I have never noticed it being in my line of sight before. Mainly because Offroad it was covered in crud and served it purpose. Just that last week- no rain to force me to keep my head down and no bright sun to make me use the peak to shield my eyes.

It was also the first time on Boreas on a sensible distance since last Autumn.
