What kind of helmet do you perfer?

I personally ride with the Bell Ghisalloon my head. I love it. If you are going to buy a new helment that would be the one I would chose. It has very good ventelation and makes me feel fast. It's a great helment.
Just purchased a Giro Pneumo. I tried on every helmet I possible could, several times, just to make sure that I found one that fit. I have done the same thing with my motorcycle helmets for years, and never ride without full protective gear. On the other side of the coin, I never really wore a helmet on the bicycle until recently. After hearing about a young man who had taken a spill off of one of the local trails, and dying later at the hospital, I decided to buy a helmet. Be safe.
The Giro Atmos is awesome.
I got it as kind of a promotion present from my dad, and I've been LOVING it. It's like I'm hardly wearing a helmet, but it's well built and came with it's own case too
I had a generic Bell MTB helmet before, and I never realized how clunky it was, how hot my head got, and how uncomfrotable it was until I put on the Atmos!

I have my first Bell helmet from the early 70's. Remember the big ugly white thing. I then bought their black helmet that resembled a leather helmet. After that I had several diferent brands. I recently have a Bell something. It has the micro adjustment wheel in the back. Probably similar to the Bell Ghisalloon. Nice feature. Especially since I ride year long and wear differnent hats underneath in cold weather.

Yup...ditto that! I`ve tried Bells, Giros and Limar helmets and the Ghisallo is an awesome lid.
Nope no new ones next year. Just got a cheap Bell from Performance this year. I wanted more ventilation.
One cool thing they do in my town of Windsor CT is sell helmets for the whole family for $10.00. It's a program that the Town Health Dept does. The helmets may not have the most ventilation (some do) but they are fitted properly. I won't get my son's helmet anywere else.

I'm hoping to not *have* to buy a new helmet in '05. I just replaced the latest "victim" ('03 Giro Switchblade) with an '04 Xen. I couldn't find another Switchblade to fit my huge melon anyplace since the stock of them is drying up. Giro is my favored maker.
