Southern California - What helmet you all use?

I have a black Trek Sonic that I ride with the majority of the time. It was new at the beginning of this season.

I also have a 3-year-old Specialized M1 that I use for winter commuting, and off-roading at night, as it has the mount for my light attached to it.

Bell Slant in carbon/black. :) However i lost the detachable visor. :( I took it off and strapped it to my saddle pouch and it ended up falling off somewhere along the santa ana river trail...

rudy project ayron...it has "bug guard" pads that actually work and it fits my head like a champ! used giro for years and this one blows them away....but thats just me.....got it on ebay as i cant seem to find anyone around here that sells them!

Briko Twinner for training and Briko Solo for racing.

Both are getting near the end of their shelf life. I'm l;ooking for a new helmet that isn't too thick in front because my short neck isn't very flxible and I can't see past many hemets when I'm in the drops. :(

I like my Ayron as well but I'm not sure what the "bug guard" is. I just picked up a Skurya off ebay too. I wish a shop around her carried them.

Currently using a Schwinn Pulsar Helmet (Youth Size; US$20 from Target) for commuting about 4 miles each way per day. Would it be wise upgrade to a better one? I'm thinking of getting a white Giro (I think they look cool). I can get an Giro Eclipse for less than US$50.

the so called bug guard is the netting in the top that is also part of the padding...seems to do the job!!!!

I just got a Giro Pneumo. I tried on all of the options Performance had and it seemed to be the only one that fit me comfortably.

You'll need a new bike to match your helmet.

I wear a Luis Garneau...My Wife bought it for my B-Day 2 years ago, it's OK but the Pads are falling apart and the Rubber Pad thingy at the Back fell off...so It's held on by electrical Tape at the moment...It kinda matches my Bike but it's heavy..at $185 I wouldn't recommend it...

No longer wearing my Alchera since it did its job for me last week (foam compressed a good 5-8mm for that impact!). I'll be using an older white Giro mtb helmet until I get around to buying a new road helmet. Still considering a Rudy one or the Specialized Chamonix.
