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

If it were me, I'd go for the Ionos.
It really is a close call. When it's real hot (95+), I'll usually grab the Ionos as I agree, it has slightly better venting.

But seriously, put them all on, and whichever you immediately forget about, buy it. Of course the S-Works has this catchy piece of advertising to go with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMSUI...os=1snCOwyKSDg Can't tell you how many times I've watched it

I used google product search and it seems i could get Prolight and Ionos both at a deep discount, but i can't find S-Works helmet using froogle. Is the S-Works helmet available only though specialized dealers ? Does that mean i wouldn't be able to get it below "standard" price ?

If that is the case it makes S-Works much more expensive than Ionos.
