What helmets do you all wear?
May sound like abit of a daft question but, I have just bought one off wiggle and it has arrived and I do not like it, im returning it. I want one that sits low on your head (doesnt stick up and make your head look huge) and is comfy... any ideas?

I wear a MET Ippogriffo. I chose it because it has plenty of ventilation and was at the right price point. Aside from that, I don't really expect a helmet to make me look good, only to protect my bonce should the worst happen, and let enough air through that my brain doesn't get broiled in my own sweat.
General cycling I ue a Rudy Project, but I don't like it, as its very uncomfortable and have to strategically fold a Buff to make it bearable. A very good friend bought me it as a gift therefore I'm honour bound to wear it until its appropriate to rplace it with a Giro
Limar Chrono for tri and tt. Very comfy - chose it as it has a shorter tail so if you move your head around it doesn't disrupt air flow as much according to cycle plus anyway.
At my speed i doubt i'll see the difference.

I now ride a Bell Sweep & it is the only helmet I have ever replaced with the same model....but about a week after I had to buy a new one (dropped it), the Volt came out, which I haven't tried yet.(Its black & red with croched porridge straps & carbon buckles since you did not ask)
Giro never fitted my head until the pneumo, they always felt to short front to back & wide side to side.

MET is good for me.
GO buy one in a shop so you can try it on, tinterweb may be cheaper but not, if like me you end up buying three untill you get one you are happy with - go figure.
Whoever throw their helmoet away because it smells - why dont you wash it?!
Absolutely - just take the pads out and wash them!
