Are cheap bike helmets comfy?
I have a funny feeling that if I buy a helmet, it will last me about a
month before it's lost or stolen. So how much should I spend? Are the cheap ones really nasty? Thanks |

In one piece. what Guy is alluding to is that a inch or so of plastic covered foam helmet in terms of head in one piece not really going to do much, if any thing at all. if you want a helmet like that you'll need a motorbike one, bike helmets are in no way ment for keeping head in one piece but for falls and such, ie low impacts. interms of comfort try them on your head will be differnt to mine in shape and size, find one that fits. roger -- www.rogermerriman.com |

The main advantages the more expensive ones have is that they have more holes for ventilation, and often more comfortable straps and padding. If you are going to wear one, find one that fits well and is comfortable. |

I'd recommend spending about £0.00 on a helmet. Get some good hats instead - brims to keep the sun off, peaks to keep the rain out of your eyes, ear flaps to keep you toasty on a frosty morning ... |

So since cycling isn't particularly more productive of serious head injuries than being a pedestrian and not substantially more risky than typical driving, just use the same one you use as a pedestrian or in a motor vehicle.
