Any good deals on helmets going?

I was dumb and lost my almost new Bontrager specter, but to be totally honest I didn’t really care for it that much because it didn’t breathe that well, it was heavy, and I should have gotten an M instead of L. So that said I want a summer weather helmet, is anything on sale right now?

Giro Syntax is $100 retail. It fit better and looked better than the Synthe. Def worth checking out

I decided to buy a POC Octal, it sounds like it will breathe the best in the heat. We'll see You can get new ones for $130 or sometimes less.
