helmet with better ventilation for hot weather

[Miranda]

Typically, the more you spend on a helmet, the larger vents you will get, and lighter it will be on your head. Obviously, while any price helmet will help to protect you.

I'm a Giro girl myself.

My road cycling helmets I spent more $ on due to that being my primary riding, and thoughts of crashing more on my mtb since I'm less skilled at that (read: replacement cost).

I have a Pneumo (which I don't think they make anymore, but maybe on close out somewhere), and an Atmos (got that cheaper w/crash discount program direct through Giro).

My mtb helmet is a Havoc.

With any helmet for the $, it's only good for one crash. However, one would *hope* that you do not need it for that purpose too often.

I could justify more $ for the helmet since it is a piece of gear I use every time I ride. Versus the latest fun seasonal print jersey that may come or go as a favorite.

Happy Shopping.
