    Helmets with peaks are very practical as they help dealing with rain, low sun and most importantly with car lights (long beam anyone?).
    With an adjustable peak there's no problem with riding on drops.

    It takes confidence and maturity as a rider to wear what YOU like and what works for YOU, not what some self righteous fashionistas want you to wear.
    I'd ignore posters trying to tell you what's right or wrong.

    As for the style, I think that the only people considering road helmets as cool are the ones wearing them :)

    I use a peak simply to shield my eyes from the sun... I hate wearing sunglasses.... (use clear lenses)..

    A few years ago when Max Scandri was the team leader, Nick Craig in the back up team at the World RR Champs, wore at a peaked hat. He was very noticeable not just for his hat but also for his strong riding.

    Yeah but we'll think you're totally lame.

    Oh come on, no helmet looks good, if you think it does, your perceptions may have become somewhat distorted.

    Practical reasons are the only justification.

    The end

    Peaks on helmets, dork discs, reflectors on spokes, bells all wrong for roadies.

    No peaks on helmets, they make you pedal slower, it a scientific fact. :wink:

    Cool roadies have cotton caps which they wear underneath their helmets.

    very cool roadies don't bother with helmets at all.

    He also wore one in the Sydney Olympics. Black socks too if I remember right.
    Peak for MTB riding and wet or low sun(?) on the road in winter. I don't give a **** what it looks like.
