Ask the flist: What bike helmet?

[andygates]

My magic plastic hat has two problems: it's old, and it's a Specialized M1 MTB lid that catches the wind like a scoop.  I'm thinking that this is the time to spring for a new lid.

What do people wear?  How much (or little) does it catch the air?

I've got a Specialized Decibel. It doesn't seem to catch the air, but then I have a miniature head which might make a difference.

It's nice and light which is good, as I have thick hair and as soon as it's not positively frosty outside I get headsweat which is *grim*

And it has a carbon reinforced inner web - if I'm having a magic hat I want one with a frikkin soot-engineered *exoskeleton*, baby.
