Hello,

I'm a student design and I'm working on my final project that envolves the design of a new helmet for everyday use.

You're all experts in biking and I want to know your opinion about the existing helmets. Which helmet u use and why? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your helmet? Which features could be redesigned?

If you feel like helping me, don't hesitate to reply or mail me, thanks a lot!

No need to post the same thing over and over.

I've always wanted a helmet that has little snaps on the side to tac a face mask or air filter onto so it'll just hang there when i'm not using it.

A compact winter design might be nice too wht fewer of those vents on the forehead.

And no stripes or logos on the lid either.

Attached shades and a heads-up-display would be cool too but i'm going a little overboard.
