Helmet suggestions?

Just got a MET Parrabellum to replace my 6yr old Met Kaos, not sure on weight but's it not heavy, a lot more coverage than my old lid and looks good too. Low stock in Aus at the moment as looks like the new Lupo will replace it. If it fits, looks to be a great helmet, not ridden in it yet!

I was thinking about one but went for a cheap Limar instead. Spent the $100 difference on a new jersey and shorts
For $100 more? I dunno, maybe if you really needed a few more vents and rode where its 35c plus all the time.

Yep, great airflow but i found on climbs or slow technical sections it would dump a shitload of sweat in my eyes due to the lack of a pad across the brow.

I'm about to step into the shop to buy one. Very comfortable and a secure place to stick the GoPro too!

There is a new tld helmet out soon with mips (multi-directional impact system) in awesome colours. with the mips looks like it will be quite safe too.

After seeing the bell MIPS super helmets recently, I have to suggest them. I found the large I tried on to be seriously comfortable, and the ability to have that full-face piece, as much as it isn't as good as having a serious full face, is still good for AM because you can leave it off on the way up, and chuck it on when you are going down.
Plus, some of the colour schemes look awesome. Especially the red/black.

I had a Bell Super for a year and then swapped out to a Specialized Ambush after a big crash.
I like the Ambush better by a long shot. 25% lighter, better straps, cooler temps and looks way better IMO.

I recently bought a Bell Super 2 and have been really happy with it.
I was keen on getting the MIPS version. The shop didn't have the MIPS in my size so I tried the non MIPS and found it very comfortable and they ordered in the MIPS. I found the MIPS version to be slightly smaller and not a good fit for my head, it seemed to have a couple of mm of extra padding in one particular spot. The next size up was too big so had to go with the non MIPS.

+1 The Scott Mythic (non MIPS) is a great helmet - it had the best fit and feel out of all the available AM helmets at the time I was looking.
