Re: Which Helmet? Tips on buying a good helmet

Can someone who has done this please share their experience please?
I've always just carried the helmet in its helmet bag as a separate piece in my hand and never had a problem. Fitting it inside a carry on will be a nuisance.

Duffle bag is the best option, I have been using that option from quite sometime. Put the helmet in it's cover and then put it in Duffle bag and carry it in the cabin.

Used Helmet bags and also once placed the helmet bag inside the duffel to reduce the number of separate units to handle and take into cabin.

You can do both!

Thank you both. I guess I will go with the helmet sleeve and duffle bag option. It's' not as convenient as a backpack but then looks like the most practical.

Re: Smart Rings - Are they the next best thing for health & fitness?

Any recommendations for a good windscreen? I tried looking at the Carbonracing one but the online reviews are not so great. I have recently started doing highway runs and the wind drag on the helmet is pretty tiring.
