Hey Andy...I have the Bell Metro and it seems okay. In this heat I
often just ride without since I do quite a bit of hill climbing and I am
heavy as you know so heat management is more important to me. Don't want to
pass out from heat exhaustion and prove the need for a helmet in the first
Thanks for the suggestions. I went by the LBS this morning and picked up a
white Uvex Urban. Notably lighter and more ventilated than the Nutcase, and
with minimal sci-fi effect.

Hey Andy,checkout what Universal Cycles has on sale. I purchased my
last helmet through them, some Bell model for $49 and I've been very
happy with it, as happy as I was with my prior helmets which were all
Giro models in the $120 price range. Yeah, I love my local bike shop,
but places like UC and
funny how you posted this a buddy of mine was talking about his Nutcase
helmet and how it needed holes. We jokingly told him to drill holes, he was
thinking seriously was thinking of burning holes in his helmet to make it
work. We told him it might void the warranty. Hopefully nutcase does add
Take that ultra-vented sci-fi looking helmet and cover it with a
stocking... it will no longer look sci-fi and it will prevent the bugs from
getting tangled in your hair... :-D

Get a grip; it's 90+ out there, you want the lightest, most ventilated
helmet you can find; let someone else worry about how it looks.
