Bell Volt
"I like a road-inspired helmet for most ofmy mountain biking," Chipps says. "The Bell Volt is equally at home in the road peloton as it is on the heads of the fastest mountain bikers. It has enough vents to keep your head cool on the steamiest days, is so light you won't know it's there, is tough enough to offer great protection in the event of a wipeout and even boasts a peak to protect your face from rain or sun."
