One helmet or two?

[Zorro5614]

Hi guys

 

Another helmet thread

 

I have about R2 200 to spend on a helmet or two.  One for road and one for mtb, or one for both.

 

Currently looking at the following.

 

One helmet options:

 

Scott ARX Plus mtb - R1 700 (MIPS)

Scott ARX mtb - R1 100

http://www.scott-sports.com/za/en/products/2412541035008/scott-arx-mtb-helmet/

 

Rudy Project Rush - R1 500

Specialized Propero II - R1 700

Two helmet options

 

Road

 

Scott ARX - R985

Lazer Genesis - R1 300

MTB

 

661 Recon Scout - R999

Bell Stoker - R1 119

Not sure what the Kask Rapido can be classified as at R1 250

 

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated

I own a Propero II on the road. Good helmet, good ventilation, a tad heavy on a Large model. Rave reviews everywhere.

One for both!

I also have one and really like it. Only negative is I can't get my glasses (Oakley RadarLock) to fit in the vents on the helmet when I want to take them off.

That's something I definitely need to test when I buy my next helmet.

One for both!

 

What about a mtb helmet with a removal visor

[Patchelicious]

Don't use visors!! What's next, a camelbak?!

 

Jokes aside, get the Propero and use for both.

[Jaco-fiets]

specialized has a very nice new lid that just came out. It is not expensive and looks the part!!

 

Its the airnet and I think it retials for about R1500. For that price I would buy 1 in every color

[Tayyib]

Using a specialised S3....best helmet iv ever had.can't fault it.

Use it for both happily.

[Thomo]

Many helmets are designed for dual use - no need for two.

Second helmet (or any cycling apparel/bike etc) useful for a change/backup.

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Single helmet. Mtb "trail" helmets have more coverage at the back of the head, which for me is important. Plus you can also get the removable visors. Bell, spez, giant, the most important thing is comfort. Forget about price unless you're looking at MIPS helmets. They're all the same, just different venting and weight

[Halfdoesyn]

I use a Kask Rapido for both. Only because it fits my head comfortably. I despise the way these things look.

Cyclelab got scott wit r for R999

Always use a visor!! Get a camelbak!

 

No jokes to put aside.

I would spend my money on a Catlike Whisper MTB and use it for both purposes with and without the peak.

But more is always more and its fun having more than one of everything.????

That looks pretty good.  I only see it for R1 999 however.  Where did you spot it for R1 500

Helmet schmelmet. Such a personal thing I don't quite see the point of canvassing here.
