Good spotting  :)

One of the top ten is the best Specialized Propero II  ;D

O' I would say that  :D  Yes Yes I work part time at a Specialized Bicycle Shop so I would say that  8)

I like all the Top Ten Helmets  :-X

But any Helmet is a good Helmet as long as you have it on your Head  :)

I like the Bern's general shape, which seems right for the more upright rider. But where are its vents?

I've been very happy with the Bell Citi/Metro line, but it looks like it's being phased out, for no reason except that it's no longer new and fashionable; it's a helmet that breathes well and fits well, and has good accessories (new high quality pads, mirror to fit the visor, winter lining, rear light, etc),

Some of that line-up of ten lids seem to me more fashion than function, though one would of course have to handle and try them on the bike to know for sure.
