Bike Helmets > Met Bike Helmets

Advantages: Good looks with a good purpose
Disadvantages: You do have to wear a big lump of plastic on your head.

The best ‘tin hat’ as my dad would put it you could have once bought. The parrabellums a good looker its very strong I’ve had too good hits to the head while wearing it and am still here to talk about it. You’ve got two distinct possibilities to the look. I use it with the visor for mountain biking it’s a solid look and even though now getting on a bit for current cutting edge looks people still know you paid good ...
...visor and its perfect for the road racer – faster than a speeding bullet with vents to match. To go for bad points all helmets heat your head up, getting a good one like this does help keep it to a minimum. But remember if you get a cheap brand you can’t get spares and believe me within 2 months you’ll want some of those sponge things that go inside to stop “head scratch!!” sweet just eats them alive and without them ...

Advantages: Comfortable fit and 16 air vents
Disadvantages: No visor

...get that much advertising. The MET Roadrunner II is a cycle helmet, a nice one. I ride to and from college everyday, which is about 4 miles through the city of Cambridge. As some of you will know Cambridge is a cycling place, but I must say that some roads are very tight and there are a LOT of buses, lorries and cars during peak times. It was only last week when a OAP almost ran me over. I was passing a parked car, and the OAP turned in on me without ...
...helmet. I chose the MET Roadrunner II. It comes in 4 different colours: Black, Blue, Red and White. I got the black one, although the blue and red also look quite "flash". The aesthetics of this helmet are excellent, and great for the casual/almost frequent cyclist. It has a slightly pointed back, so to make it look better, and it boasts 16 holes, or air vents to be correct. What the salesman said was that, "The more holes the better, coz you don't ...

Advantages: it protect your head
Disadvantages: you get a sweaty head

...on the outside are large bell logos and faint drawings of mechanics with what seems like dimensions on, dont ask why. the visor is exeptionaly use full as it protects your eyes from 8 oclock onwards untill about 4 0clock depending on the sunlight hours but you get my drift. anyway I would just like to say how sweaty you get in it it needs a couple more vents in it. other than that it makes me feel totaly protected, went biking in maer hills last ...

Advantages: Stylish, lightweight helmet
Disadvantages: Fifty quid out of pocket!

...money in my head. Giro are a very good, well known manufacturer of cycle helmets. Both for extreme off road stuff and simple leisure cycling. The company started in 1985 when a man named Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in his garage. Business boomed and soon he had to take over his next door neighbours garage too. He goes on to invent helmets that not only provide aerodynamic superiority but also help the cyclist by ...
...particular Lance Armstrong, all wear Giro helmets. After a day of looking for a helmet I stumble upon the Giro Havoc helmet. I didn't want a shiny red and silver, or fluorescent green job - which most helmets seem to be - and the more muted colours such as matt grey all seemed to be out of my budget. However the Havoc did come in a matt gray finish and was within my £50 budget. The helmet is very light, it weighs a mere 290 grams (10.5 oz) and ... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight & looks great ! Lance wears one !
Disadvantages: Expensive

Having had Giro helmets for a while, and my Helios hat being about 5 years old, I decided to buy a new hat a few months ago. I've worn it sevaral times a week for a while now, so thought I'd let you know about it ! The current advice on changing your bicycle helmet is to replace it after 5 years or so, even if it hasn't been involved in a crash, since pollution, UV light and weathering can apparently weaken its component parts over time. Not sure ...
...over being stingy ! Giro has been making quality light-weight cycling helmets since 1985. Giro is the helmet of choice for world famous seven times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, as it is for winners of mountain bike world championships, cyclocross world championships, Triathlon and Iron Man world championships. The Atmos is Giro's current top of the range model, primarily targetted at road cyclists, although just as suitable for mountain-or ... Read review
