I like the IRH Pro because it's got the classic look, and it comes in a long oval, which I need. Plus, I have to replace my helmets with astonishing regularity, and I am not going to shell out $500 a pop!
I have a Tipperary because it fits my head and it doesn't hurt my neck because it is so light. I find that other helmets cause me to look down a lot because they stress my neck, plus they are a reasonable price when they have to be replaced.

I'm with you, Mags! I'm in an IRH Pro long oval, which fits my head like it was made for it. I'm a very small person, so I still tend to look like I'm wearing a black mushroom (I look MUCH better in a top hat), but I love my IRH.
I've got a Troxel Spirit (I don't show yet, thank goodness, LOL). Ugliest helmet I've ever seen in my life, but one of them has already saved my life, so I figure they're a safe bet. I'd love a Tipperary, because Troxels are rather bulky and annoying, as well as pretty heavy and not very head-shape friendly. One of these days when I've got the means... ;)
