My parents are making me wear a helmet but i dont even know where to start. What brands make helmets that look good and are comfortable. I sound stupid haha but any help would be good.
These. Smith Mazes are very light and decently stylish. Poc delivers a little bit higher end lid with an obvious higher pricetag. If I were you, aka my mom was paying, I would look into a Poc.
I use a Smith Holt and it fits me perfect. I also wear a beanie and goggles under my helmet and they all fit very nice. Reason I wear the goggles under my helmet is to keep the strap from stretching out too much if I ever want to sell them. If you get a Smith helmet, I know for sure that Oakley Crowbars and Splices fit under very well. I switched to the Smith IOS last year and they fit well. Now I have the IOX and they fit even better.
Bottom line - definitely bring your goggles with you when you try on a helmet to make sure they will be compatible. Nothing worse than having goggles that are uncomfortable with a helmet on.
I have heard good things about Bern. I personally own a Smith Variant and I really, really like it. Smith also has a bomber lifetime warranty and customer service and has treated me well (I have returned said helmet and a pair of sunglasses for new ones). Because of this, combined with how comfortable and functional that helmet is, I will continue to purchase and recommend Smith products.
