Click image above to see the helmet larger
Winner of a Eurobike Design Award, the Lazer O2 helmet shown here is a great looking helmet that offers top-of-the-line crash protection without making the rider look totally ridiculous. The helmet above features Lazer’s innovative ROLLSYS Fit System on the top of the helmet that allows the rider to adjust the helmet size for a perfect fit to ensure maximum protection. The ROLLSYS Fit System can be adjusted with one hand and is intelligently designed to accomodate riders with ponytails (as the adjustment mechanism is at the top rather than the back where the ponytail usually pokes through the helmet).
I’ve been riding around the city for way too long without a helmet and I believe my search for one has ended today. MSRP: $110.

OMG! WHAT!!!! This is crazy! I want a custom Shepard Fairey designed Giro Ionos helmet! Lance Armstrong is really getting a raw deal out of this Supertouch-curated work! I’m jealous!

Ahh, so Giro does sell Lance Armstrong’s Giro Ionos helmet!
This particular model goes for $230 but there are 3 other helmet variations available for cheaper. And the great thing about these helmets is that by purchasing them, you’ll be directly supporting the Livestrong foundation in battling cancer. That black and yellow combo is hot.

Yep, definitely want that helmet.
And I just realized that my Nike Full Zip Ripstop jacket is in the same color combo as his team colors.

There’s no doubt in my mind that all of Lance Armstrong’s gear is given to him freely by sponsors, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if somebody told me that this Giro helmet that he’s wearing is one-of-a-kind, made especially for him in his choice of colors. I don’t know if it’s just for looks or what, but from the picture it looks like he has some sort of carbon fiber material in there. But what I love most about it is that it’s black and yellow and has a really low profile. This picture reminds me that I really need to invest in a new helmet — something that looks at least half as cool as this one.
