Catlike Whisper Plus
£119, wiggle.co.uk
Tour de France star Thor Hushovd’s lid of choice and worn by both the Orbea and Euskaltel-Euskadi teams. The Catlike Whisper has been thoroughly tested to ensure it will absorb crash forces in the most effective way, despite its light weight and superb 39-hole ventilation. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for you.
