Which Helmet Would You Choose?!

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Which Helmet Would You Choose?!

I cant decide between these two helmets or if any of you have any input for around this price range on what a good helmet would be to buy?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/120755736637...84.m1423.l2649

Nice Giant Helmet, Has 29 VENTS!!! But its coming from Hong Kong, even thought the expected shipping doesnt look like it would be to far out.

Great reviews, but havent heard much of the brand, 20 vents

Please let me know what you think or if you would recommend anything else?
Thanks

Derek

The giant is more than likely a knockoff.

Hello
I use a Specialized Echelon. Lots of vents. I like the way the helmet protects the back of my head

Neither, I need to try on before I buy. They all look nice until they are on my melon.
