I really loathe wearing my lid on the mountain bike but I suppose this brings it home why we should. Looks like you had a lucky escape mate. Good choice with the parachute as well, tidy idea that one. I like the thought of having something other than your face to grind along the floor when it all goes tits up. ;D |

I have the Met Parachute in the Hawaiin design - it's pretty cool  . They are a great helmet and come well rated. The only thing I struggle with is I find my breathing a little restricted in the hot weather - mainly on the climbs when you want some fresh air coming in but you just seem to get the warm air bouncing back from the chin guard. However, a small price to pay if it keeps your teeth in place ;D |
