Default Help choose me a new Helmet

Its about that time of the year where Uncle Sam gives me some money. I am trying to plan how to spend it already. I am planning on buying a new helmet, Track suit, boots, gloves, race tires, and some other stuff for the track.

I have been looking around for helmets for a while. I want something different, yet unique.
I am just undecided between these three helmets. I like the suomy lids for obvious reasons but something about the Icon helmet I have always liked. So what do you all think?

i would get whichever one fits best and is more comfortable, not which one looks coolest...assuming you have tried them on for that reason, i would go with either soumy...i'm just not feeling that icon...i actually have an icon as a backup, they are nice helmets...just not a fan of that design...

+1

But assuming they all fit you, just from the designs you posted I would say I like the Gambler one the best, though all are still a bit flashy for my tastes. Just not feeling the other 2 tho...

I also say none of the above. I buy for safety and not looks. If you had a kbc helmet up there I would vote. Now At least I found one that works well with my bike and looks cooltoo.
