AIROH TRR/TRRS , it is the original most vented trials specific helmet that is available to buy at the present time .

If there is any way for you to try on a prospective helmet before buying, I strongly suggest you do so.

I bought a GasGas-branded Hebo Z4 Carbotech by mail because it was a fabulous price.  The Carbotech is a top-of-the-line helmet with two annoying (to me) "features".  

1. The cheek pads were far too tight, despite the helmet otherwise fitting perfectly. I figured they would eventually "pack out", but did not.  I ended up removing them completely.

2. The buckle hit my Adam's apple, which was most uncomfortable.  I eventually improved that somewhat, but it's far from perfect.

I agree with you Konrad, I need to try it on before buying, the problem I have here in Quebec, is there is not a lot off trials gear retailer and they are quite far apart, so any info will probably save me a lot of traveling.

Probably the best-ventilated helmets are for mountain biking (MTB).  Might be worth a look if your club does not require a motorcycle-specific helmet.  Probably easier to find a vendor to try something on as well. 

My wife wears a full-face MTB helmet all season for trials.
