Lots of good info and links.

that giro wont last as long as the regular ones...the one in the pic is the "swichblade"...the face peice is removable and not very strong...get the giro "remedy"

I bought a Giro Remedy. Its a nice helmet, the ear vents scare me a bit, even though they aren't located right over my ears (they're just below my ear lobes). I was tossing between the remedy, and the 661 full bravo. My final decision was influenced largely by local availablility.

I recently started using 661 helmets, and have been very happy with them.

I have This Helmet and This One

The carbon fiber helmet is pricey, but ohhhhh so sexy.
