Actually, there are two helmet threads going on right now in other areas of the forum that are staying "on topic". One of them is about whether you can use ski helmets as bike helmets here and I don't remember the location of the other off the top of my head. Threads that discuss size, fit, style, price, availability etc. are welcome anywhere in the forums. When the discussion drifts into the pro/con helmet debate is when moderator action is required. It is a verrrrrrrrry emotional subject.
