Helmets – Staying Cool!

Okay everyone I need to confess I have spent a LOT of hours researching helmets! I want to be cool, as in temperature. Being honest I also want to look awesome!!! Maybe more chick thing, maybe not.

I have already purchased a Yema modular helmet (white) and a Sidici full face (black). The modular is nice in the heat however with the front up becomes painful to my neck in about 2mins.

The Sidici black above is really nice but just too hot on a hot summer day! Especially since I live in sunny California.

What Helmet is Right for Me?

So what to do. I’m little apprehensive of an open faced helmet – not judgement here on others choices. I have promised my Dad to be as safe as possible. So for the first year not seeing open faced as an option…. Revisiting the decision next year.

I have purchased two options to try out. I’ve tried on like 40 helmets now, love Cycle Gear! Trying on in person is so the way to go, of course maintaining social distancing peeps!

Bell Moto-3 Fasthouse Checkers Helmet – DOT & ECE certified – I bought from Cycle Gear for approximately $300 with free shipping. Tried the style in-house but went for a design like my bike!

Love the checkers!
Need some goggles for this one

Matches Racy Ryker perfectly.

SZBYKJ Unisex PU Leather Helmets 3/4 Motorcycle Chopper Bike Helmet Open Face Vintage Motorcycle Helmet – DOT Certified – I bought on Amazon for approximately $60 with free shipping. Bought a while back – before I did my massive trying on visit to Cycle Gear.

Love the vintage style!
Face mask and goggles make big vintage statement!
