Looking for medium/large (56-61cm) helmet for a road / gravel rider.

He would like a peak and must have mesh in front vents.

I'd like to spend less than £60.

I'm struggling to find anything in stock that meets criteria...

I've also worked out all Uvex have mesh.

We were talking about this the other day, I am sure that all helmets used to market themselves with having mesh, but no one seems to have it anymore. And yes I had just got a bee in my helmet.

It will be a must have on my next MTB helmet, so following with interest. I think Kali helmets used to have mesh, but probably not in budget

I use to buy Giro Rift helmets...cheap, visor and had mesh inserts in front vents on all the ones i had. Still running one now but it looks like they stopped doing them. Wonder if they did a similar replacement?

Funnily enough i have the onone helmet linked above... Its cheap but it feels cheap too and looks big even on my big bonce

I’m pretty sure Catlike Leaf helmets have mesh and a (removable) peak. I use one for road/gravel, but am on hols at mo and don’t have that helmet with me, so can’t be 100% on mesh vents.

They do, just checked mine. Getting hold of one could be tricky though!

Spiuk helmets used to come with an insect mesh. My current lid is a Uvex which also has mesh front. Anaphylactic reaction to wasp/bee stings really limits helmet choice.

Uvex! I've had MET and Giro helmets in the past but Uvex seems to be the comfiest. Also their customer service is top notch. I lost a visor screw so contacted their customer service in Germany. 2 days later I had it delivered along with new set of pads completely free of charge.

Actually both my Catlike have it - one is a Leaf and one is an enduro MTB type thing, so I'm guessing it's a design feature across the board.

My Seven IDP helmet has mesh across the front vents. Might be a bit low at the back for drop bar use though

I’ve recently got a Mavic XA Pro helmet off sportpursuit which I use for gravel riding. Picked it up for £60 and very happy with it. Oh and yes it has mesh at the front.

Mavic

We're replacing a Mavic that's not been durable. The adjustment mechanism had failed twice, once was warrantied.

Seven IDP

Mine is Ok, but they all seem generic 'standard moulds' like the OnOne helmets.

I think we're back to Uvex, I've had great helmets from them before.

Decathlon do one with a mesh, not sure it's got a peak though (although on a road bike I'd personally not want one).
