I personally use a piss pot (bright purple too) for trials due to the added back of the head protection, but for xc i use an old Met scudo in carbon and yellow and for DH i use a 661 Comp in blue.

Hhhmmm

Giros are what everyones wearing the most efficient shape for a helmet in a crash, Round, smooth surfaces slide well and "scrub off" energy from a crash, while avoiding any tendency for the helmet to snag and jerk the rider's neck.

Well vented allowing your head to release heat gained due to riding, and are slightly extended at the back for when the rider lands flat on there back.

Narrowing the chances of a whiplash effect on the neck which in turn can cause serious or even fatal damage.

They might not look as cool as the pisspots but there are sure as hell safer.
