Bike helmets that dont make you look like a twit.

Looks like one of the transformers (film version)

I just gave one of these to my son as I've sold my freeride bike and decided to act (and maybe try to look) my age:

Your face will thank you in event of a plant I'm sure my sons face is in need of protecting rather than my old sorry one so I'm just using a cheap Bell I bought from Decathlon. It's not bad but sits a bit high on the head. I'd try on as many as possible and not order online first because they do look different when worn depending on head shape.

It looks cool, but i think it might be overkill for a road bike lol

These look good for $99

I feel like turn signals on a helmet would be nowhere near far enough left/right for someone to be able to tell which way the person is turning, plus they'll move when you turn your head to do shoulder checks. Just seems like a poor idea, if you want indicators you need to have them on your bike on stalks to handlebar width I reckon.
Also as a general point, I'd rather have lights on my bike and have a helmet just designed around protecting the head.

They certainly do look good though.

I can't see how heavy that helmet is, there's a reason the more expensive ones are light it's to help with fatigue plus you're more likely to wear it if it doesn't feel heavy.

Yeah, helmet should be safe, light, comfortable and I suppose a bit aero (though a lot of that is marketing guff). You don’t want to overcomplicate the thing protecting your head.

There were some on dragons den once and they rightly said the same thing.

That being said the inbuilt lights are handy editions. There was a recommended one that I was told about but they were priced over £150.

My helmets have never looked cool as they are bright yellow.

Tbh people should have helmets like that for shopping

I would just get one that seems effective and is comfortable.

No matter which one you get you aren't going to look cool, unless you are into cyclist gear and have all the lycra.
