About as close as I get to clothes shopping

I was at GBM yesterday and saw they had some lids I'd never heard of - Shark helmets. They fit me better than my current Shoei (apparently my head is not so round as I thought ;P) and they have an XS in stock (and all their in-stock Sharks are 15% off right now). It's a little girly (OTOH, I appreciate the tai-chi-symbol-with-koi graphic ;), but that particular model has a good review from webBikeWorld (apparently Sharks are quite popular and respected over the pond). I'm thinking it's about time to replace my lid. . .

Shark does make some sweet helmets. That one appears to be at the low end of what they make, though. The one thing that jumps out at me but it is that it has plastic shell instead of composite. All of the best helmets are composite. That's not to say it isn't a decent helmet, but it is definitely a step down from what you are currently weaaring.

I've been wearing Shark for 3 years. I switched from Shoei and will never look back.
