I'd heard a few tales of the police using helmet laws to get money out of tourists so I wore it when in towns, on that trip I wore it all the time as sun/wind protection, plus we were going faster than normal!
My Aussie helmets are a bit hot for the trip, was thinking of a full face MTB helmet, they seem to pass similar stress tests to road helmets and have a lot of ventilation!
Same with leathers, looking at body armour under a larger t/shirt in the hotter areas!
I suppose I could wear my HB Dyneema climbing helmet! |
