Yes by far the best ventilated helmet I've ever owned and as a roadie to begin with, I've sported specialized, bell, giro, and lazer; but the whisper plus takes the cake by a long shot. It's so ventilated that often times I forget that I'm actually wearing a helmet! Ventilation is one of it's key selling points and a reason people are willing to fork down big bucks for one. Sure it's on the pricey side but you shouldn't mind considering you're going to wear a helmet more often because of it and in term protecting your life.
