This is the first I've read through this thread and have to remind everyone that the forum has a MANDATORY policy that any thread that turns into a discussion on the importance of wearing a helmet or not be merged into the
helmet thread. This policy is in place because rarely can the topic be discussed without it turning into a flame-war. In order to keep the thread here in C/A, please keep it on-topic (helmet selection and pricing). If you would like to discuss the need for wearing a helmet, feel free to click on the link above and joint the 145 pages of conversation. Thanks.
Now, with that out of the way, I think Indy said it first, and I can't agree more. Go try on helmets. My head and Giros do NOT get along. Bell fits me GREAT. I have both the Ghissallo and a Volt. I honestly can't tell the difference and there was about a $30 difference. BTW, I got my Volt of about $95 at Dick's on sale. Deals can be found.
