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).

Hi Christian, my experience with this hood is that it did not have too much pressure on the nose. It stayed where it was supposed to without causing discomfort. However, I am using this piece beneath a resin costume helmet for comfort and not for athletics, so I haven't really stressed tested it. My only complaint is that it's a little baggy in the neck. Hope that helps!

Oh I need to comment on Sauer. I am not sure he is talking about the same helmet. Ours is great constuction and I would highly recommmend it.

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.

If it makes you look like a bubble head you probably ordered the wrong size. Mine fits great. Looks smaller than full-face helmet. I'd want a full coverage if I rode a motorcycle at highway speeds, but I ride a Suzuki 700 ATV on desert trails - usually below 25MPH, so the VCAN works well. Warm enough on cold days, and doesn't overheat me in the summer.

I wear mine under my helment and it does fit more snug because of the sweatband but it keeps my head so much cooler.

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!

As of yet the warmest temperature I've used it in was 80 degrees and it was quite comfortable. I've used it at 0 degree temps but was cold. It helped extremely well with the wind though. Best guess 30-85 F.

I work in 72 degrees most of the time and don't sweat in these cans. As for comfort, sometimes the band over the top make a spot on my scalp a little sore (after 4-6 hours). If I use them moderately, say for less than three hours straight at a time, I have no problem with comfort.

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.

I would say excellent.. I bought it to possibly use on motorcycle, but my only use so far was with snowblower -1 degrees -20 with wind chill. Had goggles on as well nose underneath was a bit chilled at first but didnt notice much of anything by the time i was done.

This helmet doesnt have any special additions in terms of insulating a rider from the cold. Just the standard padding and no chin skirt which would help slightly. Definitely look into face mask, balaclava or both depending on how cold it gets where u live

Heck yeah. This stuff REALLY works. Example: Phoenix AZ heat was 105 (no joke) I had on a full helmet and this stuff applied to inside of face shield. It did NOT fog. There was actually water running down the shield inside from condensed sweat but no fogging. It WORKS.

Much more likely you will get headaches if you don't! I find the helmet is comfortable, with great noise and face protection - I can wear it for hours without any problem.

Hi Jason, My specs fog up too. I've done all my mototcycling in Europe and America wearing glasses and it's the one and only thing that bugs me about the thing I do most for fun (in public) All previous balaclavas, when worn covering my nose have simply exacerbated the problem and no amount of anti-fog treatment of my lenses or visor would help very much. The CTR Chinook has a panel in the nose/mouth area that helps enorrmously and whilst it's not perfect it does make a huge difference. When moving your misting problem will likely be minimal but at stops you'd normally be frantically lifting the visor or poking around with a gloved finger in an effort to create a small clear window. With the chinook I've found that pursing my lips at stops, so that they actually come into contact with the mesh panel, whilst lifting the visor results in almost zero spectacles misting. Like I said. It's by no means perfeect but on cold rides I often find myself wishing I'd found and purchased something similar years ago. Frankly it's a mystery why motorcycle clothing manufacturers don't pay more attention to the snow mobile sector. Hope this helps.

Probably no reliable way as some people would want it to fit tighter than others. Previous reviewers said it runs small. I have a small head and got a large and it fit comfortably It worked great in 74-75 degree water in Aruba. Huge help in staying warm. I had never used a hood before. Only used it on one trip so can't comment on durability. Good luck.

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.
