1. Specialized Align Road Cycling Helmet
commuter essential
Review
The Specialized Align road cycling helmet makes the perfect starting point if you're new to road cycling. It has plenty of great features, is a reasonable weight and will keep your head cool while you're riding due to plenty of vents.
It comes with a handy visor if you want to shade your eyes from the sun and has reflective webbing for visibility. There's a great choice of colours too, including the eye-catching Safety Ion colourscheme.

3. Giro Savant Road Cycling Helmet 2014
Review
The Giro Savant road bike helmet is a classic - lightweight, durable and stylish. The sizing options mean you’ll get a perfect fit, making tweaks on the go thanks to the adjustable straps and Roc Loc 5 fitting. The durable In-Mould construction provides plenty of protection for your head but is still lightweight.
There are 25 vents to keep air circulating and your head cool and strategically placed padding for comfort. This is a good mid-range helmet with great style and performance which feels nice and secure.

4. Mavic Syncro Road Cycling Helmet
Review
The Mavic Syncro Road Helmet is ready to go - whether you're racing, riding or commuting. The specific round design means it will fit a variety of head shapes and it can be fine tuned using the adjustment system.
The padding is comfortable but not too heavy and it can also be removed and washed. There's a removable visor for shielding your eyes and lots of ventilation to keep your head cool.

5. Catlike Whisper Road Helmet
high tech
Review
The Catlike Whisper Plus Deluxe road helmet turned heads when it was worn by Movistar team riders and remains one of the coolest items of headwear we stock. It's definitely not just a pretty face - it is bursting with features and is lighter than a feather.
This is one of the best helmets for the perfect fit, with a rubberized plastic strap which conforms to your head shape and lateral adjusters. The crash energy splitter diffuses the energy of a crash across multiple nerves or ribs between the 39 vents. These are uniquely shaped to provide maximum ventilation.
