I did a very quick search and saw a Specialized Chamonix 2 for about $35. I have no idea if it’s good or not but it has large vents.
I live just down the road from you, and have been battling hot head for a number of years and have tried a lot of helmets. I’ve boiled it down to the Lazer G1 and Trek Velocis (not Wavecell), both with MIPS. Spec has some that are well ventilated, but they do not fit me as well. The unfortunate thing is that a well ventilated helmet is costly.
