Ehhh...aesthetics with a helmet is a losing battle. Let's be honest, we all look, well, uhhhh...special...in helmets. I think things that are saftey based are saftey based decisions, or, in the case of a helmet, a comfort based decision. In other words, I don't ask myself which brake pad looks best...I ask which one grips the rim well.

I like Uvex because it's comfortable and convenient. It fits well, has lots of aeration and has passed the same tests the others pass. I think they look about as goofy as every other helmet out there.
