What bike helmet should I buy? I’m primarily training for triathlon but I want something that’s just as good for road cycling - the reality is I’ll be spending far more time using it for just road cycling/training than for actual tri-racing. I’m keen for something aero and safe (e.g., MIPS or wavece…

I’m really surprised that Rudy Project helmets haven’t been mentioned here. Full disclosure, I ride for a Rudy sponsored team - HOWEVER, I love the way their helmets fit, and they’ve saved my head a few times. I just got the new Volantis with visor - it’s a superb aero helmet, with great airflow (f…

Another vote for the POC Ventral Spin. It’s aero, it looks good (to me) and it’s well ventilated, which is a huge thing for me since I live in Houston.

I own one. Used it for a year. Its fast, light and has good airflow. However doesn’t seem very safe, no mips or anything. Pretty sure i got a mild concussion from a low speed cx crash last year wearing the manta. Since then i swapped to a giro vanquish and now a wavecell helmet.

I wear Rudy glasses already - cool brand. I was also surprised no one brought them up sooner.

THANKS everyone. Heaps of stuff to check out there. Looks like I need to just get out to a bunch of stores to try them on… I have a few mates telling me I could jump on the new Wavecell bandwagon as well, but haven’t actually spoken to anyone about how comfortable or aero it is in comparison to othe…

[image] Jhardisk: I’m really surprised that Rudy Project helmets haven’t been mentioned I’ve only ever owned Rudy helmets (and riding glasses, as it were) because I can usually get them at some kind of discount, currently an older Windmax (my second one) for my road riding and a Wingspan for …

I currently use the Met Manta, it is a very aero helmet and therefore very low on ventilation. I have used it in temperatures north of 25 deg C and have cooked my head if I’m going moderately hard. I am currently looking for a helmet that I can use in the hight of summer that has great ventilation …

If you’re a bargain hunter, the original Evade can be had online (particularly in L) for about 50% of original retail right now as shops are selling off inventory with the Evade II in stock. I nabbed one for about $130 as my aero road helmet along with my Rudy Windmax and Wingspan TT helmet, I’m all…

Opinions on Giro MIPS helmets for 50/50 road/xc? i.e. Just a well ventilated road helmet. Cinder, Savant, Atmos, Synthe, Foray Tried the bargain Foray which felt great but not sure on ventilation I guess that’s the one good thing about Specialised and Bontrager you pretty much have 1 or 2 option…
