The Garneau Victoria II Helmet is one of the best entry level road helmets we've found at a really excellent price. It uses a rotary damping system to protect against strong forces of rotational and linear impacts, dissipating energy from both directions. And, it's full of comfort features: Airdry padding; a quick slider to adjust chin strap position; 17 vents that work together with cooling inner evacuation channels to maximize ventilation.
