    Depends on your head shape. Just try on a bunch and see how they feel. The best helmet in the world is useless if you don't wear it because it is uncomfortable.

    Personally, I am partial to the Giro G-10. Fits my head shape perfect, vents nice, and looks ok in my eyes.

    hawks gave the best advice but bring your giggles with you so you can make sure you got a nice fit at the top. ice cream headaches suck

    Go to your local shop and try a bunch on, they are all diferent. $70 for a Smith Holt to $160 for a Giro Omen. I use a Giro G10 also, works well. Buying one online might get you a great price but it's risky as it might not fit you.

    What Hawk and Hardline said

    ....it's kind of like boots. The best helmet from one manufacturer might not fit you as well as something from another. I tried a bunch of different Giro and I forget what else. Marker is what fit me best.

    I'm in a Giro Fuse largely because I'm such a hothead. Has integrated headphone earpieces (aftermarket). Love it.

    Agree bigtime on the goggles and headaches. My mistake was buying the wrong goggles afterwards.
