Finally Found The Perfect Helmet For Me!

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Finally Found The Perfect Helmet For Me!

Check it out, finally someone (Giro) has come to their senses and designed a helmet that is simple, understated, and it doesn't make you look like an alien!


It's somewhat of a retro remake (some of the designs obviously show) but their have been some design improvements.

I saw it in a shop a few days ago and fell for its subtlety and anti dorky look. Check it out.

You certainly won't look like an alien but anti dorky looking it is not. The lack of ventilation looks to make it mighty toasty as well.

Anti-dorky??? That's like claiming Howard Wolowitz is a sharp dresser!
