    Hi Guys, Apologies if there is already a thread for this. I left my helmet behind following La Marmotte (I likely would also have forgotten my head were it not attached I was so tired). I am looking for a few suggestions on what and possibly more importantly where to buy a new one.

    thanks in advance

    I'm flexible enough. Up to 200 but ideally around 150

    Ah, I wouldn't know a thing about lids in that price range, someone else may.

    Out of curiosity what price range would you be looking at and what would you recommend?

    I use a Specialized Echelon II, which I bought in the UK for about £50 and I'm extremely happy with it. Tried on most helmets in the Specialized range, and found it the most comfortable of the whole selection. Used to have a Giro Atmos which currently goes for about 80 I think, found it fairly uncomfortable personally. Very airy but not enough padding.

    Kask Mojitos popped up lately in the bargain alerts thread and got favourable reviews for the price (€99.99 plus shipping). Obviously all depends on the shape of your head, etc. as to whether they would interest you.
