Any recommendations for a new helmet with a budget of approx £50-70 ish ?

It would help if it didnt make me look like Mr.Mushroom head :wink:

cheers in advance!

    I've got a Met Veleno D.

    Really comfortable, light and no too bulky so no mushroom head. Ventilation is excellent too.

    Would definitely recommend it.

    Met Stradivarius... got one 2 years ago and its so nice and light and doesn't give the 'mushroom head' look
    Its a £20 more than your budget but worth it...

    I have a Giro Hex and really like it.

    But, it's best to try a few on and find one that's comfy.

    Go to a big shop, fit them all and find the comfy one - then go to your LBS and assk if they can get it in . . .if not, google it and buy it cheaper online :twisted: :twisted:

    THE Industries F-14. Pisspot style head protection but with venting of a normal mtb or road lid.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    whichever one fits best.

    I got a Bell Slant after trying on every helmet in Halfords the other week.It was just about the only one that didn't have tightness or a random lump in any given area, no hard contact points at all, decent adjustability and having now tried it out it's utterly forgettable within seconds (I mean that in a good way) and perfectly comfortable after an hour and a halfs riding
