helmet with better ventilation for hot weather

[azfiddle]

I made a decision about the new helmet-

I ended up getting the Bell Sweep because I found a 2008 model that discounted almost 50%.

I tried it out it today, and was very happy with both the light weight and ventilation- my head could definitely feel the difference at the top of the big hill on my ride today.

Like many of you, I have worn the Bell Sweep and the Giro Pneumo, and liked each one. With that said, I thought that I would try something new, and boy am I glad that I did!! I purchased the Uvex FP 3.0, it's the helmet that team Columbia is wearing. Anyway, after wearing it a few days, I can honestly say that it is by far the most comfortable and best ventilating helmet I have ever worn!! It is on the high side of price($180), but definitely well worth every penny. I've actually just ordered some other models of the Uvex line for the shop. They offer great fit, and many different colors... check them out!
