i was in the same deal and i chose red.
my desicion was based on that the baker is not as safe as the hifis which were the two helmets i was thinking about.

my hifi fits perfectly. so much better than my giro 9 i had last year.

true but would a skate helmet really provide enough protection?

i have a bern, and it seems like it will protect well, its more padded than a skate style helmet..

i second this. I rocked a circuit for most of last season. The fit is great, new skullcandy is always good, and it worked awesome with prodigies (which never fogged up to begin with, but i'm sure those nifty little vents on the helmet helped too). just my $0.02.

I hate helmets.  I will not wear one, ever.  Except maybe if it's a comp.  But I don't like comps either.  Still, my parents insist on buying me a new floor decoration for my birthday...

bern helmets can look like shit, trust me, i like the whole visor thing with capix and stuff, but on those it can look soooo gay cause your goggles stick out almost as far as the visor does so it kinda fucks it up
