What brand of helmets do you guys prefer? I just went shopping at ****'s Sporting Goods and got myself a brand new Nikishi Soccorro helmet. It does the trick for me and it looks nice and stylish. What about you guys?
Nikishi, this is a pretty nice helmet. Kind of sleek and not so cumbersome. I have a couple different ones I don't know what they all are. The one I wear the most is Giro. I'm happy with it. You have to shop around and go for a few that you like the design and then go try some on. Reading reviews is a good idea too.
There is an earlier thread on this very topic that became quite hot and even features hairnets. For the record, I still prefer cheap helmets. I think a Bell helmet meeting United States Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines can be sold for $10 at retail and still give the manufacturer a very nice profit.
I don't really pay any attention to brand names. Whatever feels good, and doesn't make me look like some kind of extraterrestrial will do. Obviously,it goes without saying that I pay attention to the quality of a helmet as well. But to be honest, I haven't worn a helmet in a long time. I probably should. But it doesn't really cross my mind very often.
