Helmets for Inline Skating

Here's links to the big helmet makers. They make these helmets primarily for bicyclists. But they work for us, too. ... (Hey, and by the way, be sure you try on your helmet before you buy it. Or if you can't do that buy it online from someone with a good return policy.)

Louis Garneau ... Louis Garneau's Zen and Rev helmets were rated tops in Consumer Reports July '04 issue. Cool, touch and not too expensive.

Giro ... Giro makes some of the most popular and stylish helmets in the world.

Bell Sports Helmets ... Bell Sports sells lots of helmets. They're the kind you see a lot of at the Big Box stores.
