New Helmet....but

I am after a new lid as mine is getting on a bit, but I have a specific requirement:

I am after one which does up at the side. I have quite sensitive skin and I get pretty brutal stubble rash from my chin rubbing on the strap. I have a nice soft cover but it doesn't fit over the buckle, so I need one with the clasp over the side of the jaw/cheek.

Any ideas - preferably around the 50-60 mark.
Thanks

    several of the kask ones have the 'eco-leather' chinstrap, they also fasten at the side...

    i never had any real issue with the straps on various giro helmets, but i got a new kask protone after my aeon was cracked

    i'd wondered was it going to be less comfy, especially in the heat, but having used it a few months including three weeks hols with temperatures in the mid 30s i'm a convert, it's actually much better than the strap on the giro, it's smooth so doesn't catch on any stubble, absolutely no rubbing/irritation
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny
