Bryce at Tam Bikes (357 Miller Ave, Mill Valley, CA) turned me on to this great helmet. Ultra-lightweight, with quick, easy adjustments to fit yr. head, plus an ingenious front buckle that can tighten or loosen the strap easily. Uvex helmets are made in Germany. My old helmet was so floppy I was afraid it wouldn’t be enough protection if I went flying. This one feels secure.

Looks like a good design. I made the mistake of buying a cheap bike helmet once. It made me sweat like crazy, the sweat kept getting in my eyes and resulted in me coming off the bike because I couldn't see. Good design is always worth a little more.
Looks like you're wearing a piece of New Zealand Greenstone too. It may have powers of protection also…
