What road helmet that is light that does not look like a bunch of bananas on your head?

Specialized Prevail is insanely light and looks more square bucket like than banana like. Super comfy and adjustable though. The most aero too apparently, if you go for that.

I've got a Spesh 2D - can do MTBing with peak on or road riding with peak off! Light and looks okay for a helmet.

I bought a Giro Ionos last week.

At the weekend I did 140 miles across the New Forest and South Downs (my hardest ride yet). It is the first long/hilly ride where my head has not sweated profusely. The helmet has some sort of 'wind tunnel' effect and the cooling was incredible. You even get a winter liner to reduce this cooling for the colder months.

Light, comfy, everything I could have hoped for.

Giros may look a tad bananas.
