After a new Helmet ?

[Grayduff]

My old cycle helmet`s strap broke over the weekend and i have been interneting reviews etc on three helmets I have my eye on...

Giro Savant ......Good review but feels and looks a little over sized..
Giro Atmos ......Not seen yet but review good..
Louis Garneau Sharp.....My favourite but a little to expensive...

I have been to Evans/Halfords and tried the Savant and Sharp but could do with a little more help,Budget £60, does anybody have any experience withe above or can recommend any others..( i prefr the flatter look, like the Sharp)

Cheers in advance..

You could save money by buying a discounted LiveStrong Atmos?

However more seriously...

The Atmos has, I found thicker and stiffer straps that were fine, but not as comfortable as some other models.

Hi,

I had the same budget and same dilemma some months ago. I have a rather thin head so many of the helmets made me look like a mushroom (particularly the Giros). After a lot of helmets tried on I went for the Spiuk Nexion, excellent helment.
