I think my head is more towards the oval side than the round side, so some helmets are just too big side to side. It seemed like Smith really liked to make very round helmets, so if that has changed, let me know.
What I want:
Light, so probably in-mold.
ADJUSTABLE VENTS.
Removable earflaps, because idk.
Not too expensive, let's try to keep it around $150 or better yet, less.
Don't see the point of MIPS. Don't care either way.
Blue. Blue is nice.
Prefer no brim, because that seems like it would mess with putting up goggles.
I think I tried on a Giro Union once and it felt good. It doesn't have those eyebrow vents to help keep your goggles from fogging, which I thought was odd, but it seems to be the replacement for ye olde G10.
The Giro Neo cought my eye because it has more vents. I have this weird feeling it's a rounder helmet like the old G10 vs G9.
Any other suggestions for me?
Obviously I will try to find one to try on and I'll bring my goggles.
Thanks.
Smith Maze has been golden for my oval head. Removable everything, super light, mips or not mips.
But no adjustable vents
Do I detect a lot of anger flowing around this place? Kind of like a pubescent volatility, some angst, a lot of I'm-sixteen-and-angry-at-my-father syndrome?
fuck that noise.
gmen.
