cant_ride Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 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!

Skoze Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Get a Pro-Tec and be a sheep like the rest of us street fags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221ti Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 i tried a catlike whisper plus this weekend, it fits perfect on any head and it looks super cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant_ride Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 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.

cant_ride Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Sorry to bump this one (and for the poor grammar before!). But I'm having massive trouble finding a UK dealer for the pro-Tec Cyphon helmet. Any ideas, or even if it's actually available in tye UK?
