Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] [RC] About helmets - Ranelle Rubin

The visor is a "Salamander" and sticks on quite nicely, in fact the one that is on my helmet was on my Troxel, Janet Pucci just sold me another piece of sticky velcro and I transfered it. It has never come off..and adds at least 2" of shade..

I second the Tipperary Sportage. I bought mine from The Distance Depot while
they were at Chicken Chase. While I wanted to wear it at that ride, I waited
until my next training ride. Fits me so well!! I've worn it on a few
training rides and a 50 mile endurance ride. I love it. My Troxel gave me
headaches and my Lexington slid around on my head.

I highly recommend the Tipperary, but I suggest finding a vendor that has
one for you to try on as all heads are not built the same.

One thing that I find slightly irritating is that I have to make my pony
tail a little looser to get the bulge under the rim of the back of the
helmet, but that's ok and I feel safer with a helmet that comes down
further.

It does have a tiny little almost non-existent visor, so you might want to
add one on as Ranelle did.

It's surprising light and comfortable.

Just bought a new Tipperary from Austrailian Connection..love it!

When I used it the first time, I stopped to think about whether I liked
it,
did I feel any rubbing, etc?..didn't notice it was even there..been on
three
long and a couple short rides..all is well. I do use an additional visor
on
it (also from AC) to add sun protection.
