What's the lightest, most minimalist, best fitting, cheapest, best looking helmet available?   

In other words I'm looking for the cats meow of helmets. But I don't want to pay 200 bucks. Not even 100. Maybe like 50 bucks or less.  Smiley

I bought one of these but didn't pay anywhere near $65.00 for it from Bart @ Queen City Bicycles. Real comfy and well constructed. I may opt for something more venty for the hotter weather but IDK yet. It was like $45.00 or so.

I'm a fan of the Bell Super/Stoker for fit, style, and value. I would definitely have at least 2 more concussions without it.

My wife and I have Giro ski helmets. My riding helmet is a Specialized and my DH helmet is a 661. I will get a Giro helmet for riding CC trails next time get a helmet.
