Long Wheel Base Posted August 11, 2021 Share A helmet that fits your head is definitely a must. I currently have a kask, Louis Garneu and a Giro and all 3 fit differently. The kask is the "nicest" ito the price but fits my head the worst of the 3. The LG was a little bit less expensive and came with a lekker light that attaches to the ratchet at the back which is nice for added visibility. The Giro fits me the best and obviously has a decent crash warranty(I am not sure how many other brands offer replacements these days.), it is not the range topper like my other 2 but it's still towards the higher end so was slightly cheaper than the other 2. Why 3 helmets? Because 3 different colors and I also have 3 different color pairs of shoes so they all matchy matchy. EDIT: The Kask holes are lousy to store your glasses. I have to hang my glasses on the back of my shirt. I often need to store my glasses so holes that are well placed for that is a must for me. Edited August 11, 2021 by Long Wheel Base Added info.

Matu Posted August 11, 2021 Share quick highjack, what are the view of MIPS vs Wavecell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted August 11, 2021 Share wavecell doesn't fit sunglass arms very well and its pretty warm in our summer so I'm not so sure its a great option for RSA.I don't see many around the southern suburbs of cape town or the popular Noordhoek Village coffee stop. Even Eddie J doesn't wear one Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 11, 2021 Share I have the Lazer Blade MIPS which fits well. Only problem is the colour... black is a little hot in summer (maybe it's in on my head). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Stan Posted August 11, 2021 Share Thanks guys, will check out all of the suggestion First prize would be another bell but they seem pretty hard to find, apart from the top of range models in random colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riaan H Posted August 14, 2021 Share Maybe it's just me, but I love the look of the Abus Gamechanger, R 3700 at CycleLab or on Takelot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W@nted Posted August 16, 2021 Share On the Lazer Blade MIPS... Great helmet for the price, but I am yet to find the correct holes to fit my sunglasses in the helmet. Annoying. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
