Default Great bike helmets - that I can get overseas


Hi everyone!

I leave for France tomorrow morning, and I need a new helmet.

I haven't really done much research, but I was wondering what you guys
recommend as a nice, high end, breathable helmet.

I'm not looking for a skater style helmet.

Thanks!
Miles

It really depends on fit. For me, Giro fits really well, but no matter
how many different types of Met helmets I've tried, I can't get them to
sit properly and they are very uncomfortable.

I'm actually looking at getting a Giro Atmos, although I see they've
brought out a new one, the Giro Ionos, which I may get instead. I
haven't seen that in the shops yet though.

I'm using a giro indicator right now. It makes a HUGE difference over
my giant black, bulky, and non-breathable skate helmet. The only thing
I don't like about it is that the straps don't lie flat against your
face like a skate helmet. But overall, it makes riding way more
enjoyable cuz it's really lightweight and breathable. I also noticed
that I don't get headaches as much when I use it for muni.
