has anyone used one of these on 90 degree plus days? How did do compared to other helmets at keeping the head cool?

The helmet is surprisingly good on hot days. The ventilation design works well to circulate air through.

I have. The other day it was 92 in the valley out here in so cal and I wore this helmet. It felt slightly warmer but I think my biggest issue was when my head got itchy there were no vents to scratch. They do have a new helmet coming out in the fall called the Giro synthe. It's a semi Aero hybrid between the air attack and aeon. It offers ventilation and an aero feel with a less comical look. I would hold off to get that helmet (and am going to add that to my repertoire when it's released).

Yes I use this for all my rides, minus mountain biking. Light weight, great with the shield, feels better than previous helmets!

I wear it under my helmet, it's great for that. Since I have an expensive college degree and years of useless trivia buried in my brain, I always wear the helmet over the skull cap, smooths out the bumps on the road better.

I wear this under my motorcycle helmet in the winter time... it blocks the wind from my neck fairly well at highway speeds, definitely a clear difference if im not wearing it. Until I find one better, I would buy it again.

I wouldn't recommend it in a warm-weather climate, as the neoprene will hold in even more heat around your face than the helmet would normally. It also depends somewhat on how snug your helmet fits going over your ears, as the straps going around the sides of your head rest over your ears and your helmet could pull them down too low as you slide it on. I tried it with an open-faced helmet and it was workable, but not easy.

I bought mine for my 10 yr old so hard to say. The reason I bought this one was for as few times as she is on my sportbike and never at any serious speed I figured she would grow out of it within 6-12 months and didnt want to spend $150-$300 on a Dot an Snell approved Shoei or Agv etc. She has no complaints about helmet and loves that it fits and the colors.

If you have a small-med fairing it does pull you head up over 55. There are several positions that you can place your head so that it stops but you can't turn your head sideways without buffeting . I bought it for ATV riding and its AWESOME!!!! In hot and cold weather. Light and the visor is good for blocking tree limbs. Yo can remove the visor

Eh... It depends. It would be great for hiking or being on foot in cold, windy weather. This question came at a good time. I just now walked through the door from a motorcycle ride. It's 12 degrees (F) here today. Around town, the product does very well. It's comfortable an my face stays warm. Above 40mph, the wind overcomes it and my face gets cold. I really love this thing, but if you're looking at sustained high/freezing winds, you may want something a bit more substantial.

It stays on pretty well...it has straps that attach together to fit around your head. I've never had any issues with it staying put. :-)

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

My 9 year old daughter has used this helmet for 2 years snowmobiling. It works great for her. It doesn't have a heated shield, but if you vent in air, she's always been fine

They work best with less wind noise. I have a Fly Full Face Racing helmet, fully enclosed. My wife has a Bell 3/4 face helmet. Your helmet needs to have slots for the speakers. On voice activation my wife's radio would start transmitting wind noise around 45+ mph. We have since switched to Uclear Bluetooth Communicators.

We use this helmet in a cold dry climate. When we stop we always pop open the face shield or the whole face or it will fog up. That's just kind of the way it is with helmets in general. When riding/moving their are no problems with fogging up. We use for snowmachining in Alaska. Use with a helmet liner in cold weather to be more comfortable.

The pillow keeps my head very cool. I have no problems with the pillow absorbing heat. The thickness of the pillowcase will matter of course. The Thickness will impact the amount of air going to circulate the pillow.

Kind of depends on your head size and how much hair you got... but I wear a Large in this helmet, and I haven't worn a ProFit hat in a while, but I wear a L/XL FlexFit baseball cap. The Large helmet fits perfectly and I never have issues with overheating, though I wouldn't recommend pedaling uphill with this on. Hope that helps!

I don't see why not. As you probably already know, its a pretty warm helmet to begin with. If the top of your head get cold you could always block off the vents with tape on the inside.

I live in Florida and is been pretty brutal the last few weeks. I've had this visor for maybe a week? At work, there is no shade I can park my car under, and mine hasn't melted. It does get pretty pliable after baking in the car all day, but so far, no melting. I don't know how bad it is in Arizona, though.
