Caerus Posted September 23, 2010 Share crack i do beleive you might have an odd shaped head bwahahah. Bell solar works good for me. I dont think ive got an odd shaped head(while he check in the mirror, not all seems fine to me) My mother did say she dropped me on my head a few times when i was a kid . It may explain a few things. They didnt have the full range of Bell Helmets to try on, so ill go after my ride tommorow to look at others, Im not dismissing the bells at at, they will all go through my rigourus consumer testing. Every helmet if I have to Funny how some helmets I needed a large, others a medium, wierd(maybe I do have a funny shaped head ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_w_65 Posted September 24, 2010 Share MET Kaos UL - anyone got this helmet looks the bomb, ticks all the right boxes, and only R930. I have the MET Kaos in matt black. Only had it a week so far. Very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted September 24, 2010 Share I have the MET Kaos in matt black. Only had it a week so far. Very comfortable. Where did u get it from? do you know if the are agents or shops in SA that do them I tried a met yesterday and they are by far the most comfortable helmet out there(in my opinion, based on what Ive tried thus far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrykm Posted September 26, 2010 Share There is something that has not been directly mentioned yet, which I think is important - the design and quality of the retention system (i.e straps and fastener), and it's adjustability. Not only does this factor contribute to comfort, but also to keeping the thing on your noggin when it all goes wrong. My view is that the 'better' helmets are likely to be superior on this score than cheaper helmets. I have a Bell Ghisallo and really value the ability to easily adjust the fit whilst I'm riding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted September 26, 2010 Share yeah barry but once you get to helmet costing more than R400 they are all pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comfort wise from what Ive tried on so far, the MET is hands down the most comfortable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMax Posted September 26, 2010 Share Seen Bell, Giro, Specialised and Met mentioned here...want to throw another one in - Rudy Project and specifically the new Rudy Project Sterling helmet - best helmet I ever owned when I take the following into account. I do not see too many of these on the road and was wondering if any other Rudy helmet owners are happy with them too? Comfort (padding is out of this world with extra bug net and extra set of padding) - removable and washableEasy to adjust - dial on the back can be adjusted easily on your bikeLots of vents Weight: very lightCrash Replacement Policy - 65% discount on RRP - you never know...Cool eyewear dock system - so simple but so useful!!Price - I paid approx R1600 incl I haven't crashed with it yet but it has 4 different safety certificates...

Sorry if it sounded harsh, didnt want or mean to offend you or anyone, just dont like there stuff.There are probably personal reasons. I just think its overpriced and well over-hyped just cause its Italian. I dont get it, there marketing irratates the hell out me too. But each to there own though.
