Anyone use one, is it at the cooler or hotter end of the spectrum?

I bought one from Halfords, paid £17 for it. Its a far better fit than the Giro Zar that I smashed but not as comfy as my Specialized Tactic and doesn't look as good.

Love mine...light, airy, comfy with decent coverage. The main accolade is that if i broke it, id by the same again

I really like mine, much better than the cheap and nasty Bell I have for commuting, and nearly as good as the UVEX roadie helmet I have which was double the price.

Don't have their MTB helmet but the whisper road helmet is light, very well vented and seems quite good at absorbing the odd knock. I bought another one today after doing this at lunch time:

Backwards onto the road at about 25kmph with my head still inside it.

My Leaf saved my head pretty well in a spill. Very well vented, light and great value for money.

Yeah and surprisingly, no ill effects. My back, shoulder and leg are killing me but my head is okay

Got one. Comfy, not sure how well ventilated it is. Don't feel hot but seemed to be sweaty, but that could be down to the pad arrangement.

Ordered one ,the bug mesh will be a big bonus. Flies in helmet is nearly as bad as helmet in fly.
