Specialized helmets

[Cuchilo]

This was the one in Isleworth so not that far but seeing as you already have one its a bit late . To be honest they all made me look stupid and the cat like ones did stand out from the rest as a nice hat

It's about 75-90 minutes to drive to Isleworth at the weekend each way even though it's only about 12 miles! I might pop in to Epsom on my way home to see if they have, but not a huge store either

Quicker to ride there then
How did the cat like fitting go ? I'm thinking of trying them again now I have settled with the fact that no matter what I buy I will look like a nobber .

Didn't work for me, looked even dafter than most helmets. On its way back to Merlin

I went into Halfords today and tried all of them on To big at the back and make them stick up to high . Plus they don't go with my eyes

Are there any that aren't so high - the MTB ones with the visor tend to look slightly less ridiculous. Might as well just stick with the sweaty echelon! I may simply need a more helmet friendly haircut in the summer!!

The echelon II (2) makes me look less of a dick . Is that the same thing ?

I don't know, mine must be a few years old. Specialized echelon, RRP about £50

I recently bought a Propero II. Mainly because of the good reviews and the front vent. Although so far it's about on par with my old Bell Array on the sweatiness front.
IIRC BromleyBike had some 'Womens' team Lulumelon ones going cheap when I last visited.

I actually tried this on and because of the design, it looks less ridiculous than the specialized, I think because it sits lower at the front. Very light and comfortable too

Perhaps more than I wanted to spend but if it works well and looks a bit better...the black colour may be beneficial
