$175!!??
Have a good look around and I'm sure you'll find some decent helmets for a lot less than that. What veered you towards that one, just out of curiosity? Maybe this thread will help... http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50936

If you're looking for skate helmet style head coverage you can try the Giro Semi. Giro discontinued the Semi but you can still find old stock. Froogle found this shop that has them in their catalog.
The Semi is constructed like a bicycle helmet. Foam with an in-mold plastic cover. It's a single impact helmet, unlike the typical skate/BMX helmet that can take multiple hits. One good hit and you have to replace it. Not highly ventilated, but it gives you the head coverage.

661 Mullet, dirt cheap and unbelievably protective. And they have a garauntee so if you break it they send you a new one i believe.
