And here I am trying to convince someone to purchase a 500$ Paul Smith helmet…
No but in all seriousness you’re absolutely right. All brands in all markets have started taking advantage of the consumer. Cycling is ridiculous, but you see it in all sport really (ski, golf, etc). Even running got crazy expensive somehow. I’m not even sure who’s to blame anymore. Is it us for continually buying said product or is it the brands?
Yeah it's amazing helmet got two. However the price of these things really is crazy; lets remember once the moulds are made they are from plastics, styyrenes and pu foams. I was in
manufacturing at higher mgt level, and when you break the the process and constituent parts and raw materials v costs to the consumer this really is the problem in the sport.
Let’s go!
I’m not usually a Kask guy but those Paul Smith collabs are spot-on. Plus the matte-pink Rockets helmets are 👌🏻
I use the Giro Aries spherical MIPS - been very good

Yeah giro makes some solid stuff! Really digging the new Eclipse Pro. Looked good in the peloton during the Giro.
