    There are as many high-tech skull protectors available as there are bikes, but which to choose? Here are a few ideas...

    1 Pro-Viz Triton


    [​IMG]


    It may be an all-rounder, but this light, well-ventilated helmet – with snap on/off visor - should keep long-distance cyclists just as happy as commuters. Pro-Viz is well known for its high visibility gear and the helmets are no different – there are reflective strips along the head and an ultra-bright LED light in the rear headring.

    £54.99, proviz.co.uk



    2 Bern Watts


    [​IMG]


    By fusing helmet design elements used for action sports; from cycling to skating, Bern has managed produce a helmet as popular with fashion- conscious urban cyclists as it is with extreme sports fanatics. The Watts is simple, original and is a world away from the technical designs of most high-end cycle helmets.

    3 Catlike Whisper Plus Deluxe


    [​IMG]


    The headwear of choice for the Cervelo Test Team, this dramatic yet beautiful helmet is somewhat of a design classic. The deep holes cut into the shell not only create excellent aerodynamics but also make it an incredibly light piece of kit.

    4 LAS Victory Limited

    For the racers, this high-end Italian made helmet is a must have. It received a five star review from BikeRadar.com which praised its excellent construction, sculpted interior and added extras to customize it for comfort during summer and winter.

    5 Giro Savant

    A top-end helmet for road cyclists at a fraction of the price of its competitors. Giro lives up to its reputation for quality; this helmet is comfortable, light and the Roc Loc 5 dial ratchet system means you can adjust it in seconds while still riding.

    6 Specialized Propero II


    [​IMG]


    A well-designed helmet that will perform well for road cyclists. It’s well proportioned, easy to adjust (thanks to the one-handed dial on the rear) and, for the very reasonable price, has great airflow and weighs in at a mere 238g.
