I find that a few of the topline roadie style lids that I've tried from Giro,
Specialized, etc. sit high on the top of my head like a yamaka and do not
inspire confidence that they would stay in place when I crash. I feel like
they're designed to minimally pass the test with more emphasis on weight and
airflow. They could of course design the fit system so it grabs lower down on
my head. My current helmet I use for xc racing and all of my riding is the
Specialized vice, which I find has a great combination of coverage, fit,
venting, weight, and price!
