How many helmets do you have?

[BR46]

Between Wo46 and I we have 5 bicycle and for motorcycle we have 12.

I even gave away a few motorcycle helmets 

[groupw]

2 bike helmets for me. 1 for WoW. I will be getting a new one soon. 

[JerrySTL ★]

1 for me. 1 for WoJSTL. Plus a spare. Two for grandsons when they visit. 5 total.

[Mr. Beanz]

3. Active. One for night rides not worried about strap damage.  The other two trying to color coordinate somewhat. 😄

[Mr. Beanz]

Gina has 3. Blue and white Giro Pneumo, white Ionos and a pink flame Pneumo.  Many people have recognized us over the years because of Gina's pink helmet. 😄

2 bicycle and 1 motorcycle 

[Square Wheels]

I think just 1, might be an ancient one in the closet.

[Airehead]

Two bicycle, one skiing, one motorcycle 

[bikeman564™]

2 bike helmets. The one I always use, and I keep the previous one, just in case.

[dinneR ★]

One ski and three bike helmets.

I really do wear bright/light colours when I bike any time of the year. Especially close to my face. I could never wear an all-black helmet. 

 

Helmet below is mine. I haven't worn it past 7 yrs. It's a bit heavier and better for cold weather because of less vents.

Why is that?

[ChrisL]

WOChrisL & I have a couple we have retired but haven’t thrown out.  Not counting those WOChrisL has one and I have two, one MTB and one road helmet. But I generally just use my road helmet for both.

Both of my helmets are black and I really wanted white moreso for higher visibility but when purchasing the only ones in my size were black.  I don’t find them hot if anyone had concerns about wearing a black helmet.

 

[Mr. Beanz]

Speaking of purchasing helmets. I've walked into local bike shops, , asked what I'm looking for, , helmets. .

Oh, the beginner helmet section is over there. 😒

Guess I just don't look like a cyclist. 😆

I would feel hot. Black absorbs heat. I would like to be seen in evening/night/early morning. Also having dark hair, it doesn't make sense. I should take advantage of bright colour contrasts.

You would not be hot in a well ventilated black helmet. If you look at my black Pneumo in my pic. You'd see a good amount of vents and not visible,  are plenty of air air channels flowing under the shell. 

Hardly a hot helmet. 😉

I get that sometimes at the motorcycle shop when I'm looking at racing leathers.

I actually dislike my all orange helmet...it's too singular in 1 bright colour. However I was desperate to get helmet a yr. later when in Vancouver for 2 wks. at that time, after I previously trashed my helmet during my cycling accident with another cyclist.

You need to invest in some cooler helmets. 😄

My orange helmet is actually 2 shades of orange and the light shade has an imprinted pattern in it (small squares).

Then the black helmet has gray striping that form frames along the helmet exactly like the pink flames on Gina's helmet, just not as noticeable.

If they don’t recognize you they assume you are new to the sport. The bike shops all recognize me when I walk in.

In a 30 mile radius. We have about 60 bike shops.  I can't afford to be recognized at all 60. 😆 I do my own mechanics, builds, wheel builds and everything so I dont have much reason to visit shops anymore.   😄We were just passing by when we decided to drop in.

[Longjohn ★]

I have one helmet I wear most of the time. Another helmet with Da Brim to keep the sun off. I don’t wear that one much anymore because it didn’t seem to make any difference in the amount of sun damage I got on my face and ears. I use a lot of sun block. One more helmet in my bike stuff cabinet, not sure why I stopped wearing that one. Esther had two helmets that she didn’t wear. One is now in Ravenna with Esther’s bike. I have two motorcycle helmets. One is full of dirt and has flowers growing in it. The other one is on the scare crow for the garden. I don’t own any motorcycles now.

Wife and I have four bicycle helmets. But the motorcycle and snowmobile helmets, I have no idea. 

These are a couple of pics of the downstairs snowmo closet. We've got other helmets stuffed in other closets throughout the house too. We can purge a few but we do use most of them. Different types of rides, different gear. Half, 3/4, full face, mod, mod with bluetooth, etc.
