Lightweight, looks good, and is made by a very high quality company.
Recommended in Desert Rock
This, in my opinion, is the most protective, comfortable, and good-looking helmet money can buy. Mine has held up to significant abuse and protected me through thick and thin. If you're in the market for your first helmet or it's time to replace your old one, look no further.

A more durable, and more cost friendly option than the sirocco. This one is also quite comfy.
