Right,

Ive decided to buy a mushroom, I normally wear a full face helmet, and as it seems to be getting hotter it makes sense i guess to get an open face.

Ive tried both of the above on and like them both.

I would like one in white (the mat digi camo) is a current fave.

Do any of you know of any other white helmets?

    I have a Hex, I swithered between the Hex and Zen for ages, the Hex does feel and look cheaper but I'm not really convinced it's any worse than the Zen.

    Giro Phase, £50.49 from Tredz. They do 2 types of white helmet. White/Titanium or White/Lime.

    I have one myself in the Gun Metal colour, nice fitting helmet and I like the wheel at the back which makes it easy to fit to the head, good ventilation too.
