I can attest to the fact that the Spec Prevail II helmet has great ventilation, even better than the previous gen which was already very good. It's lightweight, fits nicely, is reasonably low noise (lower than previous model), and ventilates very well. The sweat management feature is a bit overstated although it does function to a point.

Specialized makes it easy, just order one and try for 30 days. If you don't like it, send it back for a refund. If you favorite helmet maker won't do this, then it's time to change.

when the catlike first came out my reaction was thinking it a gimmick that would fade - impressed to see it is holding its place in the market

Funny! All helmets look like sh+#, imho. Necessary evil, but I are a simple soldier. My noggin is not mine to make decision on. And NO not trying to start any kind of helmet ya/nay thread.

+1 for Giro Aeon. Mine worked great, that is until I broke it in a crash. I replaced it with a POC raceday MIPS. It doesn't look as good as the Giro, and I'm not sure it ventilates as well either. I wanted the MIPS feature, which is not available on the Aeon.

I have a couple of Giros that fit me a bit better better, but on a hot day I always go for my Catlike, you can feel the breeze like on no other helmet that I have used

The Protone isn't too bad on the cooling side, but kinda has a issue with the glasses just like the mojito but not as bad IMO
