Pro-tec helmets are great. Don't get me wrong. But Skyway Scott pointed out in a previous thread that the vents in those will definitely not help to keep you warm when riding in the winter time. My helmet will hold the body heat in my head...just a thought. But on another note, you'll spend double for a Shred Ready so it is all personal preference, in my eyes, it'll just be good to see all of my bro's protecting their melons just in case something like this happens here!!!
I'd actually LOVE to see EVERYONE in the area wearing helmets and basically "requiring" all newbies to do the same...maybe a pipe dream but just want to see everyone as safe as possible...
