What helmet ... ?

Hello,
I'm currently wearing a cheap Giro helmet, and though it has been good for mountain biking, i'm now looking for something a little lighter and with more ventilation for road biking.
I have a Specialized Secteur Tripple 2012 (red and white) and being a fashion victim, i'm looking for a new helmet which goes with the bike
I'm looking to spend ~£70, and I saw http://www.evanscycles.com/products/specialized/propero-ii-2012-cycle-helmet-ec032087#reviews - any thoughts? Is it a good helmet, is there anything better for a similar price?

I have a Specialized Prevail - its more expensive but has the horizontal front slot like the one you are looking at - it vents really well..http://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

Whatever fits you best.....
Anyhooo - all the roadies are wearing lids with little or no ventilation these days. See the new Giro Air Attack or the covered in Kasks of Sky....0 -
Is it worth taking the gamble of ordering off of the internet, or is it always best to go to a shop?0

Internet ordering - I would only suggest you do this when replacing a helmet which you know fits. Otherwise it is worth going to a decent bike shop and paying slightly more to ensure you have the right helmet to suit the shape of your head. A very slightly poor fitting helmet can drive you mad on a long-ish ride.

Just had a wee drive and tried a few on ... glad I did, as the Specialized Propero II made my head look like a mushroom. I ended up getting the Specialized Echelon which was £20 cheaper to boot - result

I can understand why you would be drawn to a Spesh helmet and their new Kevlar ones are good. Two friends have recently bought them and they tick all of your boxes.
I love my Giro Ionos. It lets so much air through that they give you a liner so you can still wear it in the winter.Boardman Elite SLR 9.2S
