hi - i am looking to get a new helmet as my pisspot is far too hot to have on for long rides...

i would be using it for just XC and road cycling so needs to be light and plenty of vents. I don't want to spend much more than £40 on one, unless it is worth spending a little extra.

any suggestions received gratefully.
