so which helmet wont make me look like a mushroom...

[soulful dog]

It's good to know I'm not the only person who has this problem

However, I occasionally have to wear a hard hat at work, and I look stupid wearing that too..... so there's probably no hope for me!

You could always take the DIY route and fabricate your headwear to a custom level of safety......

Met Forte, tits nice and close, doesn't look like a mushroom. Comes in different colours, not just white.
It's the one I use, and I love it. Most comfortable one I found at the time I was looking.

Yeah, but what about the helmet?

Giros make me look like a mushroom as do specialized helmets, but Met don't for some reason. I must have a met shaped head. I have a couple of friends who both have larger heads and they look better in Giro.

+1. I'm not fussed one way or another about the look. Here it is in action on my bonce.

They come in a few colours as well, and for £25 they're reasonably priced too. Can't go wrong with them.

Hmm... debatable... looks a bit like chopped mushrooms...

Well are you looking for a racing helmet, or leisure helmet? Fitting helemts to faces is a bit of a science and if you are open to an alternative style fo cyclign helmet, then BERN make a great range. Check them out. If your all about LYCRA though, it will be hard to swdae you to wear one of these.

I think they all look crap,i was in asda the other day and got one for 3quid and was suprised it was better looking than my more expensive one ,the only reason i got another one was because my old one was so big it used to obscure my eyes

 

[Fletch456]

Teletext - did you get a new helmet yet? Only I rode with a guy the other day who had a Lazer Helium, which was in black and it may have been partly due to the rest of his outfit and perhaps his shape too but I thought it looked really pretty good. And a darn good job of being un-mushroom like. I was impressed by it.

I tried a Specialized helmet on the other day which is the only one I've ever found fit my head that doesn't make me look silly but IIRC it was £179! For that price, I'd rather look silly.

Recently tried a £150 helmet. Paying that much simply isn't worth it IMO. Comfort is the most important feature for me, some models fit, others don't.
