Just came across this whilst searching through their site.
It's priced around £100 everywhere else.
Sizes: Small/Medium (51-56cm) - Black or White in stock.
Thoughts/opinions? looks like a good buy - cant decide if I should go for it

Another road bike helmet with multi air cooling vent technology, for some Muppet to wear a base ball cap underneath, thus making a complete mockery of said technology & looking a dope too boot.
bike helmets are available with peaks to keep the sun out of your eyes people :smiley:

Whilst I don't wear a cap underneath I do understand why some cyclists do - sun visor, absorb sweat, comfort - stop helmet pulling hair, etc.
Therefore a helmet like this with air flow holes will be cooler for cap wearers than a helmet without.
Personal preference really - no need to misunderstand, get all judgement and bothered by it.

Got to be really careful buying without trying, I always go for Giro as they fit me best, seems good value though.

I phoned up to check whether they accept returns in-store, which they do, so if that's the case it'll just go back.

All out of stock. Shame, looked like a great deal.

Buyer thinks: "hey, look at me, I've got a (insert brand name) helmet on!"
Intelligent observer thinks: "£140 quid bike helmet, what a knob".
Still not a single piece of evidence showing why these expensive helmets are any better than a 10 quid Aldi/Lidl job. A fool and their money..........

It's mainly weight, fit and comfort, my Giro Aeon is much more comfortable on a long ride than my cheapo Giros, well worth it for me.

I said evidence, not opinion. It doesn't exist. In a blind test you're quite likely to pick the cheap helmet over the expensive one. I'm not telling you not to do it but it certainly isn't a 'hot deal'.

Stupid semantics, to me evidence is lighter and better fit is a great advantage, would pick out the better one in a blind test every time, simple as.
