    Anyone use one? I’m starting to think they look good, in an ugly way.

    These are nice but £££

    I wish Giro made this for bikes tho.

    see loads of snooty types riding their shopping/trekking bikes around with caso helmets in munich or on the shores of lake garda.

    more money than sense, imo.

    I would’ve put that Casco down as a horse riding helmet

    They look a bit on the warm side to me.

    Just get a piss pot for a few quid and look as cool as the skate kids. I know you could pull the look off Al.

    I got a Giro Flak pisspot the other year. comfiest fit of any hemlet I’ve ever worn. bit on the warm side though, so just use it 2-3 seasons or when raining!

    …the Giro Surface is almost that, doesn’t seem to come in olive green though. The Fox Transition is the right colour and almost the same but bigger vents.

    The first one looks like a moped hat.

    Someone posted some pics of new bike helmets by a company that normally does kayaking helmets a few weeks ago, that looked pretty cool in an urban pisspot stylee. Can’t remember the name of the ompany though, and they were a bit expensive.

    Going on my own snow helmet, it’d be way too sweaty.

    Ta re. Giro Surface!, looks spot on.

    Wearing any helmet at all for urban riding looks twatish.

    always get the smallest you can Al, baggy helmets look even worse..

    Too small can look quite silly as well.

    Sorry eyerideit, missed your post there.

    Not sure on the situation as the kit is just starting to arrive now…..and he’s away skiiing at the moment! Keep an eye out though (I’d imagine places like STW will be seeing stuff soon too) as it wont be long

    Damn, why didn’t I know sweet were doing bike helmets.

    If they are anything like as good as their kayaking helmets they will be worth every penny

    The ww helmets are about the best out there, for protection, that also look fairly cool (for a kayaking helmet), which is a bonus
