Giro is a good brand. They look nice, but are bit pricey.

Do you wear a Giro. I've only worn Specialized in the past, but fancy a change. My mates wear Met's but they seem a bit crap.

unfortunately I don't have any first hand experience, but my biker buff friends say they are rather good.

I'd go for a Shoei. Bought one a few years back. + Nice 'n' comfy. - Visor has plastic screws holdin it on to the helmet. These are reet fiddly b***tards!
Got an Arai as well. Pretty good though noisy. Latest ones might be better.
Oh aye... the Shoei saved ma heid when I bounced doon the road.

don't wear one.... if you do chicks won't be able to see how really really really rediculously good looking you are.

I've got a Specialized but would probably go for a Giro next, they seem a bit better designed.

i got a specialized helmet to go with my sworks fsr-xc...
never wear it though, cuz they make you look like a dork.

whatever helmet fits right is the one you should get... giro's tend to be a bit more oval, where bell/specialized are more round (or maybe it's the other way around)... just like shoes, comfort should be key.
and helmets don't look nearly as dorky as a massive head wound.

Thanks fellow cyclists. I'll be trying some o these out on Saturaday. Perhaps a top hat with a chin strap would suffice till then?

Giro Pneumo... *drool*
I'm buying one for this season.

Just got the new Colorado Cyclist catalogue in the mail... I was goingto treat myself to a Giro Pneumo this year but now I've seen the Giro Animas, I'm not so sure.
Animas == $99
Pneumo == $160
They don't look that different...
