Consider the Giro Combyn. It uses new technology that supposedly takes the good of EPS and the good of EPP with the bad of neither, meaning it can take multiple light impacts while retaining its integrity but will still provide the protection of a single-impact helmet in a hard crash. Of course, it will still need to be replaced after a sufficiently hard impact, as will any helmet.

NPRMI second this


Really? I found mine to be way heavier than other helmets on the market and the damn thing is falling apart after two seasons with no major impacts. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

for full price anyways, if you can find one cheap like I did, and you know that the thing fits your head the way it should, by all means, get one.
