New Helmet!
 
I no there is loads about helmets but this is more for the girls!!

What's folks favourite helmets? I'm going helmet shopping soon and just wondered if there were any favs I should look out for and try on?!! AND I would like one that doesn't look to girly but that doesn't look masculine either!! SO pink is out of the question! lol

Shark do a good range of helmets that are more feminine. They also do a pink one in the butterfly one, but I agree, PINK is just a no no.
I've had two slightly girly ones from them now. cost about £150.

My approach was to find a shop with a good selection of helmets, start at £100 and work my way up until I found a really good fit. Check that it had the appropriate safety stickers and a decent strap. Then look at what colours were available.

If money was no object I'd just start at the other end of the rack and follow the same procedure. :) Either way I think the fit of a helmet matters much more than whether it's available in pink!

Just my thoughts,

Keith.

If you read above - I DONT WANT PINK!!! lol, not a pink girl!

I think i want to spend btwn £300 and £450. Won't be picking a helmet for the design, just wondering if any of the lassies had seen any particualrly nice ones. Always feel that a bright helmet helps you get noticed!

I love my Arai condor - fits like a glove, comfy, does everything I want. The second I put it on, I'd bought it.
