I didn't buy one as they only had yellow in stock but I'm waiting for a call-back confirming that they will be getting new stock in.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17722580703235194607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928835.post-1086733198939339282004-06-08T23:19:00.000+01:002004-06-08T23:19:00.000+01:00Spotted this nowadays rare Giro Animas 2003 helmet...Spotted this nowadays rare <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chainreactioncycles.com%2Fviewproduct.asp%3Fcategory%3DHelmets%26ModelID%3D2018">Giro Animas 2003 helmet</A> at knocked down price but the problem would be that I'd not be able to try it on in advance. Not sure whether to just order it anyway since I could always return it if it's uncomfortable.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17722580703235194607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928835.post-1086614913580125902004-06-07T14:28:00.000+01:002004-06-07T14:28:00.000+01:00My first bike helmet was a Bell Image, which coast...My first bike helmet was a Bell Image, which coast about £30 in 1995(ish). Next up was a cheap Halfords-own model, and I'm now using a Trek Somethingorother.<br /><br />All of them were pretty comfortable, the newer ones just look a little better, are lighter and better ventilated.<br /><br />I'd think, at the speeds that impacts are likely to happen, even a badly fitted helmet would be better than no helmet. But, you'd probably not wear a helmet if it was uncomfortable, heavy or sweaty.<br /><br />Your best bet would be to go along to a bike shop (a proper one) with a budget in mind and try on everything that's within your budget. Just buy the best fitting; if it's a brand, it'll be fine.<br /><br />I always wear my helmet, like a good boy.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308666493490068369noreply@blogger.com
