Helmet question - looking for a particular design

Hi my cycling brothers and cycling sisters.

I have a conundrum / quandary. I want a helmet that looks a bit like one of those ugly bucket helmets and a bit like a fancy road helmet. E.g. buckety but with more holes.

Thoughts, eh?

You mean like those made by Bern or POC?

Thanks, bud.

That POC Octal sure looks great! Way too expensive though. I can't imagine anyone ever actually spending $280 on a helmet.

It's a lightweight road helmet.

And, er...I'm one of those people.

People who like nice things spend $280 on a helmet. Hence why so many companies make helmets that cost that much.

Do you realize how much I would have to cut out of my "clean water for Africa" budget to buy one of those?

Giro Air Attack or Aspect. Not sure what your budget is but those run in the $175-250 range.

Those are both beatiful. Thank you!
