Looking to buy a new road bike helmet?

horsemoney

I just got a new road bike and looking to buy a new helmet. The one I have now is more for moutain biking and find that it gets heavy while riding more than a couple of hours. I'm looking to do 60 to 100 mile rides and want to find a good light helmet that works well for road bikes. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.

Yes! Look by trying on the different companies helmets first. It seems every company makes helmets tha work best for one shaped head... And not the others. There are some companies helmets I cannot wear. They hurt just to put them on. My head works great with Giro.

So,try on the various companies and get the one that feels the best. What you get for more money is more exotic materials, beet and more air vents, and better suspension systems. But I think mist of the true benefits stop after around $100!

road bike helmet chin attachment?

Theory

I am looking for a chin guard that can protect the chin in the event of a chin first landing so my chin does not get cut up and requiring stitches (happened 3 times before). It should not interfere with the helmet. It should be able to slide to dissipate energy instead of grab and cause more damage.

Answer
There are no chin guards made that will work with a road helmet. Your experience of falling 3 times chin first is very unusual, falling that way is pretty rare on the road. It may never happen again.
