If your willing to go up a bit more, you can get some helmets with absurd levels of ventiliation...and in the summer heat, that is definately a good thing to have
I paid $65 for my Louis Garneau T-bone, and I still think it's a great helmet. It is a bit out there in looks, having a total of 33 vents and all, but it's not ugly or stupid looking either.
