Do you mean 'coolest' in the Samuel L Jackson sense, or coolest in the sense of keeping you cool..?

For commuting a £20 Halfords mtb helmet.
For road bike Sundays - a lovely black and white met - £85

I really should pay attention, I misread the tile as 'what's got on your melons' , I didn't like it :O Anyhow, I have a choice of 3 helmets, for winter evening cycling I have a heavy abus cycling helmet with a white head torch fixed onto it. The rest of the time I have two MET helmets, one is white, the other is black, and I choose whichever one matches the colour of my jersey!

'Cool like Samuel' is very subjective, unfortunately. Here's my simple two-step process of how I choose my helmets...

1) find a helmet you like the look of / like the colour of
2) Does it fit? If yes, buy it - if not, go to 1)

Have a look at the specialized range?

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

I have the Specialized Prevail and Evade, both these helmets pass the CPSC, SNELL B90A, CE and AS/NZS safety standard tests without issue. Unlike many of the helmets legaly sold in the UK.

Both helmets are above 100 quid but if you decide to wear a helmet, you might as well get one which has passed decent tests.
Currently the UK test is at best described as lacking.

To be as cool as Samuel L Jackson you would have to wear your helmet back to front (eh Fnaar?) and learn how to talk crap with conviction.
