I like POC receptor bugs, look cool and have very good protection.

Also check out the smith maze for a similar helmet and the giro shiv for a lighterweight helmet.

Giro has a new muti-impact non race helmet coming out 13-14. It looks dope but cant remember the name. Basically dont waste your money on any single impact helmet.

POC has some of the best helmets in the business, but BE SURE TO TRY THEM ON BEFORE BUYING!!!

They have different shaped helmets to accommodate both oval and round head shapes so all of their helmets do not fit the same. Be sure you're getting the right head shape helmet for yourself!

Really though, I love my Synapsis 2.0 so much- super light, great fit and good venting without letting my head get cold.

I bought my second POC receptor bug this spring , overall it is a great helmet. They can be a bit expensive (they are usually cheaper on evo or backcountry), but it is worth the money since it is a multi impact helmet, and very comfortable.

If you do go with the receptor bug be careful with sizing, they do run a bit smaller than other helmets.

I have a receptor bug, and I also have poc lobes. They go perfect together.
