Subject: which helmet is this?
|
I have lost my helmet (long story) purchased a year or two ago. The
helmet was over $100USD, a road helmet, had web straps coming from
two places on each side of the helmet that met to be a single strap
for a plastic quick-lock-type under-chin buckle (all helmets are this
way now, yes?). The feature that I really came to like was an adjustment
in the back that allowed me to comfortable ride with a cycling cap under
the helmet or without by turning a dial. To memory the dial was red
in sort of a clear plastic case. I could only adjust the dial by part
of the dial sticking through the case at the bottom of the case. I
though this dial thing would be flimsy and would break, but I bought
the helmet anyway. The dial didn't adjust much, but it was enough to
expand or retract for wearing a cap (actually a head sweats, terry-
cloth, cool-max with a visor thing).
I suppose the helmet was as good as anyother certified and rated
helmet, but I like this adjustment thing.
Looking at pictures on nashbar it was not a Louis Garneau helmet.
Anyone have an idea what helmet this could be?

Some of the Trek-branded helmets have the dial adjustment feature you're
describing.
Good luck!

This sounds like a Bell, perhaps this one:
