Some hot shot's helmets in Kona - pics

I have soooooooo much time in my hands, so I decided to show some helmets worn by some of the top guys and girls in Kona this year. I think the trend, besides aero, is custom graphics.

Love that!! he also has a speedo with little skulls on it.

I used to like Faris until I just noticed his helmet promotes alcohol-free beer.

thanks for the great pics…some really nice helmets out there!

hey, Macca is the only one not wearing an aero helmet…

someone had to say it.

I’ve never seen the SHARK one before. It is very cool…

I wonder how much it takes for a custom paint? Ummmm…Christmas is near…

Is there any reason that Faris’ helmet strap is on the outside of the ear wing?

Yeah the shark is freakin’ cool!

Yeah, it’s called doing a fast transition.

Ric

yes, I’ll email it to you when I get off from work. I might have a couple more out on the Queen K.

I have so much time again, that I’ll start another thread this time with shoes. I was surprised to see so many triathletes wearing Road Shoes rather than tri shoes.

Does anybody know the difference between the Giro Advantages…? I see 3 versions out there… Look halfway down the helmet and u will notice that on one version, it has what looks like a slot on the side of the helmet for venting.

No vents in this pic here…

Vent slots in the side of this helmet here…

This one here shows a little ridge at the top back half of the helmet… I’ve never seen this before other than Team Discovery helmets.

actually, what seems to be a vent right behind the Puma logo, is just a “dimple” or groove on the shell.
