Which Bicycle Helmet should I buy?

Alice

Okay, I'm thinking about buying a new bicycle helmet.

I have two options.

Bell Multi-sport Faction

Or a Bell Solar Helmet

I could spring for the extra $10 for the other helmets if I wanted to.

Anyways, Which should I buy? The Faction is more fashionable and the latter is more, ventilated.

They're both CPSC certified, so I have two choices, fashion or ventilated?

I'll be riding to and from school, so cold mornings, and hot afternoons.

I'm thinking of also buying a mirror on my helmet or my handle bar, too geeky?

Thanks you for the answers!

Answer
Both helmets look perfectly suitable. Go with what you like.

I would stay away from helmet mounted mirrors. Having a sharp stick with glass attached that near your eyes is a bad idea in the event of a crash.

Edit: Now that I think about it, try both helmets on, and go with the one that fits better. A well-fitting helmet will be more protective if you ever need it.

What is the best mirror system for a bicycle that actually works?

Answer
For me, the kind that clips to your helmet, so you don't have to look down, and you can scan the mirror by moving your head a little.
