On the track there is little need for anything sophisticated as overheating is less of a problem. Most of the best track specific helmets are tuned to provide good impact protection and improved aerodynamics. Since the design needs of a track sprinter is different than those of a road cyclist in a time trial the shapes need to be quite different. Since the market is pretty tiny there are only a few products for the elite level. Casco seems to nearly own it. They are all pretty "minimalist".
