Mounted search and rescue

[Pennbo <pennbo@bbv.net>]

Different helmet manufacturers make differently shaped helmets. They use 
slightly different 'lasts'- some are oval, some are more rounded. It's 
best if you can to go somewhere that carries lots of different brands 
AND styles- as even within a brand the styles can vary fit a little. As 
to ventilation- I imagine it depends a bunch on where you live. I have 
found that sticks etc can fall into my helmet and make for an annoyance 
however I've not yet been poked with a stick through a vent hole. I will 
most likely be searching for an unvented helmet for my next one.
