question I know it's only a day old but the poll seems to have a clear winner...how can helmets be improved? New

I suggest...

1.  Lidds is on to something w/ the retention system...bike helmets have been using this for years.

2.  Keep some smooth-daddy designs for the "hey I'm cool crowd" but let's see more helmets that have good coverage around the temples, forehead, rear base of head.

3.  More use of EPP foam instead of minicell.

Those all seem obvious, what else?

Oh yeah, maybe some of those nifty beerholders for flatwater sections
