After 39 years of riding without one, I started feeling like I was living on borrowed time. So I went and bought a cheapy, a 2006 Bell Venture for $20.00. It does what I want it to, absolutely nothing except sit on my head.

Hopefully it will need to do nothing for a long, long time.

I bought a Spiuk a few months ago, it's really comfy plus it has mesh in the Vents to keep the Bugs out

same here. it's the best i've ever had. the front red pad went ragged on me really fast so I emailed Bell directly and they quickly sent me two free replacements, no questions asked (except my mailing address). the first one is still going strong after 1000s of km's.

you might want to replace that 10 yr old helmet. i've read helmets are good for 5 years because the foam degrades over time. bell recommends their helmets be replaced every 3 years.

I wear a TSG Evolution most of the time or a Diamondback full facer. I won't ride wearing anything other than a hard shell helmet (and haven't for the last 5 years) as I want to feel like I'm wearing a helmet that actually will protect me if I fall as opposed to a microshell that's more vents than actual protection!
