Helms

Morning all,

I need to get myself a helmet 1. Because I don't have the balance I used to 2. Because it's compulsory for the Red Bull Session in Manchester in a few weeks and 3. Because it's just a good idea (4. Being safe is cool!). I had a really nice specialized lid a few years back until my dad ran it over in the family tank.

Problem is, I have a long thin head and look like a real tool in any helmet I've ever tried on. It's not just a case of getting used to it; I look like a tool.

What I'm after is something really low profile and sleek.

There's something I really enjoy about the look of this one...

Giant Vault Helm

...but I know as soon as I try it on, yup, I'll look like a tool. Any ideas for a helmet in this kind of style (sort of cross between regular mtb and bmx?

Cheers!

Oli

i tried a catlike whisper plus this weekend, it fits perfect on any head and it looks super cool.

Catlike? Never heard of them and to be Ho eat I thought you taking the Mick but they're actually alright looking! Bit pricey though.

Liking the look of the pure White Pro-Tec Cyphon. Anyone got any ideas for UK dealers?

Catlike whisper is an road helmet, it wouldn't really give the same amount of protection as a Giro Hex or a Fox Flux. But it is certainly a lot lighter (I've tried them on) and they are comfortable too. You can get a visor on it to make it look more like a MTB / Trials helmet, check it out here. This is one of the cheapest Catlike helmets I know off: clicky. I really do think they look nice though.

I noticed that in the Tour de France, whenever the person had the green sprint jersey, he also wore this helmet too.

Have you ever tried out a Giro Hex? I highly recommend it.
