Helmets..?? Whats Cool!!
Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2005 6:22 pm
My vote is for a Solid; Plain White (or Bright Colour);
IMHO;
- White most likely to be noticed in someone's peripheral vision*
- White reflects the most light; hence keeping your head cool
- Plain Colours are the Cheapest
- You can't see your helmet whilst wearing it
*I know people will say outlandish paint jobs are the most visible,
however my opinion is they only do a better job at keeping someone’s attention once it has already been noticed.
Still believe that when a rider is ducking in and out of traffic a solid coloured helmet is the most visible.
