$36.00 | | Purchased At: | Halfords, £24 | | Strengths: | Good name,
Easy attach / detach peak
Nice colours,
Nice vents,
Strap fastens on jaw rather than under chin - safer for throat,
Universal size, adjusts to fit anyone. | | Weaknesses: | Strap fastens in a place that restricts the adam's apple (even on loosest setting, and I've got a medium head).
| | Bottom Line: | Enough vents to keep you cool, and poke your fingers through to scratch your head.
Despite having a cool head, you still get more sweaty than if you had no helmet on.
Safer fastening (not under chin).
Universal size.
Buy it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$65.00 | | Purchased At: | Cycle Superstore, Tallaght, Dublin | | Strengths: | Nice price,(IR£50), nice colour, fits firmly. Those vents keep my head reasonably cool in temperate Irish weather. | | Weaknesses: | While it fits firmly, this isn't the most comfortable helmet I tried on. This could of course be down to the shape of my head. All the comfortable helmets were significantly more expensive. | | Bike Setup: | Giant Team World Cup. Used exclusively on the road. | | Bottom Line: | A good buy.For £50, I don't think that I could have gotten a better looking or better value helmet. Now that I cycle far more frequently than I used to, (and know what to look for), I will probably be upgrading to something alot more comfortable, and hopefully a bit cooler. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
