My 6yr old Giro havoc is overdue for replacement and I fancy something with a bit more protection.

I dont fancy a p*sspot, is there an alternative, like a halfway house between this and an ordinary helmet.

Cheers

Search for Protec. I have one. There are of course the “all mountain” lids like the Hex/Zen which just cover a bit more. Protecs are closer to the piss pot idea. Suits me but I do have quite a light thing for poncing around when the roads are wet and dark.

Dont know if its what your looking for but I have a Met Parachute, its a great lid, it has a screw on/off chin/face guard, so good for the road and great for off road. It also comes with a 3 year crash warranty. You should be able to bag one for £75ish.
Have a look at one, good ventilation and weight.

zen, hex???
both good.

Whichever fits the best for your budget 🙂

Speaking of which, do Giro still do the crash replacement thing? Split my Xen earlier 🙁

(sorry for the slight hi-jack)

Met do! 8)

giro do

Another vote for the Met Parachute. You can take the chin guard off if you want to.

I’ll check them out, cheers

Casco Viper if you want a removable chin guard. – Wife has one.

I have a Giro Hex which seems to offer more protection than previous helmets however I’m trying not to test that theory!

Other options are the Fox Flux and the THE F14. Both offer a cross between the pisspot and the normal cycle helmet. Worth trying to find some to try them on as that is the most important thing really.
