Most subjective question ever.

On a different note, your signature is spot on. getting laid > 1/10th second over a 40k TT.

Agree'd about the super subjective nature of the question however, I feel that the propero II is probably the best value. It has almost all the features of the Prevail and S3 and yet is half the price. The echelon misses out on some of the adjustments and the single strand ear loops.
Looks like I made a new 90 Proof friend

If you have the cash to drop...the Prevail...if not...the Propero 2.

I got the Specialized S3 on closeout, for $110.00. Nice helmet, but I can hear some wind buffeting and flapping chin strap, at high speeds. Minor annoyances, for the most part. Thanks for all your input!
