I have the Chapter Helmet now and had the Heritage helmet (slow-speed fall and knocked my head...foam cracked).
I love their helmets. I do wish I would have gone large instead of medium, though. My head measures 22.75" and with a RandiJo earflap wool cap on, it's a bit tight. It fits, but I wish I'd have sized up. I like most of what Grant says, but I'm not riding without a helmet. I don't ride aggressively, recklessly, or with bad intentions. Even with the most care and the best technique, we can all misjudge something ever so slightly and take a tumble. Ben, who wears a helmet even if it's uncool.
