I'm starting a thread on urban helmets since Google didn't yield much and helmets change every year as far as style goes. Obviously you should try to goto your LBS and try on a helmet that fits the best since fit/safety is more important than style. But lets be honest, you don't want to look like you just got off the short bus either...

Factors that go into decision making:
1) Safety, bonus points for multiple crash
2) Fit
3) Weight
4) Profile (the lower the better unless you like looking like a bobblehead)
5) Ventilation
6) Overall look and colors
7) Cost (all are roughly $50-70)

Major players (ones that you may find in your LBS) that seemed interesting and beyond the basic look of a bike helmet. I tried to steer away from street racer looking helmets and went for more of the skater rounded look helmets. Further suggestions welcome.

If you got something and you like it or hate it, feel free to post or comment on any of the above designs. Which one do you think looks the best without having tried them on. Or feel free to troll the thread with a ridiculous helmet image as I'm sure many of you will.
