Lots of great helmets out there. I would go to a good shop and simply check them out for yourself. I have a Giro G10 and it works well but a G9 is pretty similar except the your paying an extra $30 to be able to regulate the vents which I really don't use. I keep them open all the time. The G9 sells in our shop for $100 and the G10 without the brim for $130 .

The Smith Variant is very popular and retails for $150, everyone says that they are really comfortable. We actually have a waiting list for them. If you like the "Air Evac" look the Smith Holt is popular mainly cause Shawn White wears one and they retail for just $70 but have a very basic vent system.
