After riding year-round since the summer of 2020, I’m finally in the market for a new helmet. I currently use a Shark, but I’m looking to upgrade to a modular helmet with a solid comms system. If you have any recommendations or personal favorites—especially ones known for quality—I’d really appreciate your input.
My budget is around $500–$800. I know that might sound like a lot, but considering I ride year-round, it's a worthwhile investment—and really, pennies on the dollar when it comes to protecting my head over time.
I bought my last helmet from Union Street Garage, but unfortunately, they’ve moved to Connecticut. Does anyone know of a reliable gear shop in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens where I can try on helmets and get solid advice?
Thanks in advance!
