Ok so now I have a TT bike do I go for a TT/aero helmet ?
I am not a quick cyclist but needed a new bike, as we all do, and decided to go for a TT bike rather than road bike. I am to do a few local TT's, a couple of duathlons, IMUK 70.3 and IMUK this year - maybe a couple of other sprint Tri's.
I need a new helmet as mine is not great anyway - so do I go for a full on Aero helmet or should I go for a normal helmet?
If not a TT helmet then what helmet would you reccomend ?
I know this has probably been asked before but the search function on here is pathetic so I am asking again

With regards to an aero helmet:
Take a look at the new Kask TT helmets being used by Team Sky, very aero, well ventilated, fully hinged visor and extremely confortable. http://bikesales4u.com/kask-helmets/
previously had a bell,
not bad, but upgraded to the kask recently, although not cheap it has to be the most comfortable helmet i've ever worn,
plus the added advantage of the built in visor,
so no messiing around with glasses in T1,
so now the problem is trying to justify looking like i know what i'm doing
As Zacnici says, this is an upgrade that will help anyone, rather than say a disc wheel where you need a decent speed on the bike to get the most out of it.
