The current trend for aero-shelled helmets has been a struggle for me. I have a rather small head, and I'm not that fussed about outright speed these days. Even when wearing the best of the contemporary helmets, I fear being mistaken for a Belisha beacon, and worry constantly about someone wanting me to assist them in crossing the road.
So when the Rudy Project Rebel road bike helmet arrived, I was immediately intrigued. It had vents—and lots of them—and it was also compact. Could this become my new riding buddy?
