what helmet

[cyberknight]

I use a giro skyline for commuting that you can pick up for half the price that halfords will charge,at an ebay shop, well vented with a removable peak .
For my weekender i use a decathlon btwin sport 7 and for the cost its a great helmet

I bought a white Met to match the bike. It fits well and has an adjustable rear band. To me any helmet sold from a reutable lbs will be good,the rest is down to fit and if you like the colours,style etc

I've just bought a Giro Monza from Halfords but I'm starting to doubt the fit. It seems to sit high on my head? I don't know if it's just the fact I am not used to seeing myself in a helmet? Are there any more slimline helmets out there? I suppose they need to be a certain thickness to do their job?

to help a helmet fit if you have hair and to soak up sweat i wear a buff with a turn in it to make a skull cap,the helmet will not slide around on your hair so much

Sorry but what is a buff?

It's a fabric tube that can be used in a variety of ways. Link.

I've got a selection of the cheaper copies which I wear "pirate style" under the helmet and find them great all year round. In summer they wick the sweat away and keep me cool and in winter they keep the bitter wind off.

I've just ordered this one following a good review in cycling plus.

I got it for less than £40 in matt black and red. I find the cost of some of the top-end ones difficult to justify.

Maybe i've just got a sweaty head then

Mine doesn't have replaceable pads but every few weeks i shower with it and leave it to dry. Seems to work well enough.

(And no, I don't wear it :P)

Where do you hang it

I got the same helmet last month on the C2W scheme, really like it and for me the fit is spot on.
