I've decided to get a road helmet. Up to now I've ridden every ride, from fast morning rides to centuries with the same helmet: an old Giro MTB helmet that carries light, mirror, visor and that I also use for commuting. My friends say I should get a road helmet for the lighter weight and less neck flex when in the drops.

So I went to the LBS and tried on lots of helmets. A few worked for my large and oval head, here they are:









The helmets pictured range from $65 to $270. One has MIPS. They all seem to weigh about the same. All are tolerable looking, to me.

Which would you lean toward, and why?
