Bike helmets that don't make me look dumb?

insanechil

I have a bike helmet that I always wear when I ride but it makes me look dumb.

Answer
Giro makes a nice line of helmets. I kinda like the Indicator or the Transfer - no sun visor.

Which looks more dumb - wearing a helmet - lying in a hospital bed comatose - or dead? Choice is yours. Personally, I wouldn't ride my bicycle 10 feet in the city without a helmet.

What kind of helmet do I need for Mountain Biking?

I plan to get a really nice $200 mountain bike in the next couple of days, but I have really no idea what kind of helmet I'd need for Mountain biking. A few of my friends say that a regular bicycle helmet will work, but I am concerned that if I somehow fall of the bike, and hit my head on a tree, that a regular bike helmet would break.

I was thinking of getting one of those full face helmets, similar to those helmets that Dirt Bike riders wear. Is that okay, or is it completely unnecessary?

You will find the full face helmets hot and very uncomfortable to wear. A mountain bike helmet with or without a visor would be a great choice.

You do not have to go high digit for a helmet. What you get for more money is a lighter, cooler, with better air flow and suspension systems. The companies make helmets to fit different shaped heads SO DO NOT just buy one. Try on several brands. There are some companies helmets that I cannot wear... they are painful to put on.
