So maybe what goes on your head is not the first thing you think about when you're getting out on the bike. Yeah, sure, you've got your helmet, but for many people that's sort of a an automatic, no-thinking required deal. But is your helmet still up to snuff? It's possible that it's damaged and you may not even realize it. If a replacement is in the cards, we've got some feedback on possible replacements.
And there are certainly other fun and cool choices for what you wear on your head and under your helmet for either warmth, comfort or style. Check 'em all out here and see what you've been missing.

2. Equinox Helmet by Louis Garneau
The Equinox helmet by Louis Garneau is a terrific product. At $39.99, you get high-end performance at mid-level price. The Equinox has tons of ventilation, fits nicely, adjusts easily and looks great. It compares very favorably with much higher-end helmets like the Bell Sweep helmet, which at $130 costs about three times more.
3. Pryme 8 Helmet and the Pryme 8 Tat2 Helmet
If you're looking for a basic, solid helmet for BMX, skating, or pure urban riding, look no further than the Pryme 8 helmet. With a range of colors that'll suit anyone's taste - from flat black and olive drab to eggplant, rust and pink - you can even get the jazzed-up graphics on the sister model Pryme 8 Tat2 helmet.
