In reply to nufkin:
I guess it's perspective. I'm looking at a new helmet atm and my thought process went the other way. Given the material compromise in the new Sirroco by the inclusion of the new panel, and that the meteor is rated for the same activities and still a light helmet, why buy the Sirroco? It's a lot of extra money for the weight saving. Personal preference at the end of the day.
I would have been more inclined to buy the old sirroco as the few people I know who bought it, loved it and I did like the idea of the EPP material used. It would be interesting to know that reason for the substitution as the original seemed to be a real stride forward.
Though thanks to Graham I'm now looking at the Wall Rider as well......
Cheers!
