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......

Bell Sweep. Great look, and much less pricey than the Giro Atmos.

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.

For grating cheese to cover the pasta when carbo-loading the night before a big ride.... it's unique at least!

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

caligurl 01-20-06 09:50 AM

i have an atmos.. so obviously i think that one looks best! :)

cyclezealot 01-20-06 09:53 AM

anyone here think any helmet looks bad unless it is waxed? I hear some wax their helmets.
