I've been using a helmet that the designers at Specialized gave me several years ago. It's a nice helmet but it's getting pretty grungy and probably needs to be replaced. Having only spent about $50 or $60 on helmets in the past 20 years, I figured it's time to pony up for a new helmet. As I started to search I was amazed at (1) the range of helmets I'd never seen; (2) some of the new innovations that are coming out and; (3) some of the prices that helmets are hitting these days. I may just try to ping on friends in the industry for another freebie but I use it so often, I may actually get picky and open the wallet for this one. I'm not looking to start a pro-helmet/anti-helmet debate, just looking for insights from those who use 'em. What are people liking out there and why? I'd love to hear everyone's latest thoughts on helmets.
BTW... I did go down the "folding helmet rabbit hole" when I was searching. Some crazy new things coming out. http://www.treehugger.com/bikes/dash-and-stash-stash-folding-bike-helmet.html http://www.morpherhelmet.com/ https://store.moma.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_Fuga-Foldable-Helmet_10451_10001_227971_-1_26715_11506_221954?gclid=CIC3h9Szhs8CFY9bfgodLwoAkg http://www.backcountrygear.com/madillo.html?gclid=CPD56pq0hs8CFQtnfgodRS4JwA https://www.amazon.com/Overade-Foldable-Folding-Bicycle-Helmet/dp/B00TA4TF4E http://www.thinkbiologic.com/products/pango-folding-helmet ...and my wife found this one: http://www.ecohelmet.com/ John “Not wearing a paper helmet anytime soon” -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
