the giro atmos my friend gave me for xmas fits fine w/o a cycling cap underneath, but when i wear a cap, it flys off the back of my head when i'm going fast. pretty lame.

also saw vids of the giro d'italia and some guys had helmets w/venting that was sideways across head instead of back. it looked hella weird

maybe the new Orbea Odin helmets that Euskaltel is racing. They look like klingon foreheads.

it's a meme i made and i like (Steve Shasta), Monday, 23 May 2011 23:53 (thirteen years ago) link

I think it is time for a new helmet. Giro has been good to me, I'd like to try a bontrager oracle, as worn by leopard trek. It seems very open.

i like the bell volt, would recommend.

I think I've lost my helmet - I've got to call an off licence3 today as it's the only place I could have left it, otherwise I'm back in the market. But I'll almost certainly get the same as before because after half an hour of trying on photos and looking in the mirror it was the only one that was both comfortable and looked okay (a Met Ultimalite).

I have a giro monza, which appears to be the plain vanilla ice cream of helmets. There were loads of them on the last fnrttc. Pretty comfy and light enough though.

And, nah. I'm not in the market for a helmet, I just don't wear a cap underneath.
