Nice budget helmets
Moderator: robbosmans
My old Giro helmet is falling apart, so I'm left with only the trusty Kask K50, so there is room for a second one.
Two models that look great for a decent price are the Kask Rapido and the Giro Foray. Both are brands I have liked previously as well. The Giro in particular looks very modern and smooth.
Any insights on those or similar offerings?

Nice modern helmets in a good range of colours, those. I've just ordered an Endura Airshell following an enthusiastic review in Cycling Plus magazine. If money were no object I'd have liked a POC Octal but, guess what, money is an object. Whatever that means. You know what I mean.

I personally think ,that like many other products related to cycling, helmets are very,very overprized. The last helmets (all Giro) I have bought and paid a huge amount of money for were all made in China.
A friend has bought a chinese Giro Aegeon and it has the same weight and same! RocLoc system as mine for 49USD.
Now I hear a lot of people saying that these are not according to US and EU safety standarts. But he had the same safety sticker within his helmet.
I know exactly where you can buy Giro's (and a lot of other brands)cheap but am not supposed to give the link.
I for my part will try one of those as my next helmet.
Remember everybody was warning us not to buy Chinese wheels a few years ago ?
Please no PM's. I will not share the link or shop or website .

I was going to say Lazer O2 as well. I like the versatility and price. Heavy though.

We have some Giro Foray in the shop and I really like the look of them. Pretty low profile around the head and roc loc adjustment. MSRP is only $65.
Kask Mojitos can be found at reasonable prices too.

Rudy Projects have been very much reasonable when they offer 40% off all orders.... Check the net for coupons and then try applying it to their US site.... My Windmax and Airstorm are great fits but they sit a bit shallow.

The Catlike Kompact'O is pretty nice IMO. I like it better than the Whisper or Mixino.
You can take the visor off and put some little plastic inserts in the holes.
Not too heavy (my daughter's black M size is 238g without the visor) and not too pricey either.<
