Helmet Question MTB for the Road.

[Boon 51]

I'm getting another helmet and I've seem a Plasma helmet which looks like a MTB one so is there any reason you cant use a mountain bike helmet on the road...

Cheers

The one I was looking at was the Mavic Plasma... rather nice I thought and I can't see no visor..

do you have a link please?

Isn't Plasma a range with three lids in it? It's a typical road/XC crossover design and iirc comes with a small detachable visor.

I think I draw the line at roadies wearing piss pot snow board style helmets but apart form that surely anything goes...?

[QUOTE 2114703, member: 45"]The only problem you may get is if it has a visor and you're riding a road bike, as the visor may obscure your view due to the lower riding position.[/quote]
Alternately, mtn bike visors are great if you wear glasses in the rain.

if your the type of rider that wants to wear a lid, then any lid is a good lid!!
.. and yes i do

The important thing surely is that it fits well...not all heads and helmets are the same

That one's £100 CS only have in MD or SM, may need to measure your bonce

I will be changing the helmet at CS because the last helmet I got from them was old..
Not knowing at the time how to read what year the helmet was I got a helmet from them that was in fact over 3 years old, so I rang them and told them and they said I could change the helmet on my next visit if not used.
So thats what I'm going to do. I did pay £80 for the last one so in a sense I will only be adding a little but as you say it needs to fit and they did measure me on my last visit and said I was a small head size person.
Of course the colour has to be right..
