My First Helmet
This is the Vetta Corsa. Here it’s being worn by Mark Marabini at the 1988 Warburton’s Big Bread Triathlon in Southport. Nice MB bars too!
I bought mine in 1988 from Stowes Cycles at the end of Slough High Street. They were known for their friendly service. Said nobody ever.
It might not have been lightweight. Or aero. But it was safe. As it was made from military grade, bullet-proof kevlar.
I wore it proudly through the 1989 and 1990 triathlons seasons.
