Helmet advice
« on: 29 August 2012, 06:16:57 pm »
I'm looking to change my helmet, does anyone know of any helmets that fit my list of "must haves"?  I currently have a laser fibre d1, it's my first and only helmet, I may even stick with one of these, but wondered what else is out there.
Good for glasses wearers
Has a pinlock ready visor (my current helmet has pinlock and I swear by it, in 3 1/2 years of commuting only my glasses have ever fogged up)
Has double D ring - I'm sceptible of how a quick release system would perform being used day in day out, commuting.
I've found helmets that seem to match 2 of my 3 requirements but not all 3.
Cheers in advance.

HTC IS16 helmet - Pinlock Ready with D-Lock and I wear glasses.
 
Once the helmet is on, i dont feel the glasses at all.
