Best looking helmets?
In the market for a new helmet, i currently have a Louis Garneau, just not too impressed with the look (or feel for that matter), theyre just a little bulky. I know Giro is pretty much the standard in sleek helmets, andy others? And I know this is a bit OCP, but i just gotta ask......

I've got a BELL GHISALLO and it fits like a dream. The thumb screw tightener on the suspension is a really nice feature, I can switch between wearing a helmet liner on cold days to no liner in a couple of seconds. It was a real hassle when I had to change the length of the straps on my old helmet.

Check out the Rudy Project helmets. I think the Skurya is on sale at www.e-rudy.com Great helmets with good features. I have two.

I recently purchased a Bell Ghiasallo and I like it a lot so far.
If I was looking to drop tons of cash I'd be looking at the higher end Met, Lazer, Limar, and of course that Catlike Whisper
