I know this has been rehashed here before but none of the previous threads seem to answer my questions.

My main concerns with a helmet are safety, not looking ridiculous, and keeping cool (this one's pretty important because I get REALLY hot REALLY fast during the summer. I'm one of those hot sweaty guys)

I do like the looks of the Bell Metro and Citi. I'm also not opposed to the Furio either. So, I guess the big question is which of these do you guys think breathes the best?

Edit: Oh and I do like the fact that the Citi comes in yellow as my Miyata is yellow. But, I would still like something that breathes good.

It's hard to advise on helmets. I buy ones that look cool and fit. I'm not into visors.

I try not to spend more than $50, and I've bought a couple used (a huge no-no, per any LBS selling helmets). Still, I consider them merely a barrier between my head and the ground, and feel the quality makes little difference.

It does, however, make a difference for air flow, strap system, and fitting system, and I like my Giro's for that.

Some good info on current helmets.

Bell Influx, it has huge air vents in front. It's like air conditioning for your head.

I bought a Bell Furio last year. I really like the fit adjustment system, and it seems to have good airflow.

I didn't look at a Citi, so I can't compare.
