.. Yeah I know some people will say I'll look like a knob-end 
, but I have to say I really like the look of the new Parachute.
Been eyeing one up for a while and since the fasteners bust on my current helmet I thought it timely. My current helmet has a chin guard too btw, just a crap one.
My choice came down to either the Parachute or the new Bell 2R but went with the Parachute because I don't think I really want a detachable guard as it will be sods law that the thing is in your backpack when you actually faceplant on some unassuming section of trail. Plus the Parachute is higher rated for safety - to downhill standards.
I went for the least jazzy colour - to match my riding style
- matt white. The same one as in the video link below.
Will post my thoughts once I've used it for a few rides.
