    I'm in the market too since I cracked mine a few weeks ago!
    There are a few women's helmets on the market, but I have found most of them to be "one size fits all" and the ones that I've tried are all too small for my big head. The very first helmet I bought, was a Women's Giro Skyla and it ended up being too tight on me. Now I just buy a unisex helmet in a size medium, and I'm good.

    I found WSD means they make sure there is a hole for the pontail. Although my Bell Sweep is unisex and has it. My Specialized Echelon does not but I have seen it on the WSD Trek and Specialized helmets.

    Uvex sent my friend a new helmet (no charge to him) when he wrecked hard. He had serious injuries and was in ICU but has recovered fully. That is a testament to their helmets because he went off a blind 3' concrete drop. He broke multiple bones in his face and had some brain swelling but he made a full recovery with minimal therapy needed (mostly speech after breaking his jaw). Seem like a good company. I *think* Hammerhead Bikes or maybe Monkey Wrench sell them in Austin. I know he races for Monkey Wrench.
