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!

I've worn the beanies in the 80's and 90's (in Florida). Even though my head was sweating, the wide sweat band pretty much contained it. When the wind blew, it felt good blowing through the mesh.

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

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.

Sorry, I like to be hot and I have had to run in frigid temperatures lately. I have not had these long enough to know how they behave in warmer temperatures. Based on my experience with other brands as well, they are no different in terms on how much I sweat. The support is excellent though. Hope this helps

Helmet is roomy. I have a sm md and lg and I can wear my sons sm. The adjustable strap is very user friendly and provides a lot of range...more than a bike helmet. It's also pretty warm. I wear a thin balaclava in cold conditions ( sub 20 degrees) and all is good.

I have not worn this jacket with a helmet. I did see a technical rock climber review this jacket on youtube and he said that he wears the Marmot minimalist jacket on all his rock climbing outings. Check out the youtube reviews of this jacket.

Hi, I have this helmet and i love it. I've never felt the visor obstruct my view. I don't see how it could if you are looking forward. It doesn't fall on your face.

Nope. Moreover I've tried the shield version and I don't know about others but I had the problem of the wind getting underneath the visor causing some discomfort and bad vision. That's why I went with the regular air attack and use my Smith pivlock2 and Oakley jawbone (I alternate). This is not to say you can't be crafty and find a way to attach neodymium magnets to the helmet, but this may weaken the integrity of the helmet making it less safe to wear. My advice would be to wait for the new giro synthe. It combines the best of the air attack with that of the aeon. Good ventilation mixed with aerodynamics. The air attack I have is used in colder conditions. The aeon all the time. Nope.

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.

I bought this helmet for my 5 year old and she has been comfortable in it this year but next year might be a different story. Hope this is helpful.

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.

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!

It will all depend on how sedentary you are. I wear these when I drift fish for steelhead in a boat for 10 hour+ days. The temps are usually 35F and below. I also wear a polartec beanie, balaclava, 3 other mid-layers, 3 pairs of smartwool socks and Baffin boots. If you will be actively moving about, this is not for you.

I use it for snowboarding with no problems and I don't have a problem with the gaper gap with it. However I had to get Goggle Grips for it so my goggles would stay put over them. Don't the they nay sayers detract you from this helmet. It's a solid buy. I use this helmet for biking, skateboarding and snowboarding. No need for extra helmets.

I have 2 of these and love them, however at 30F it is not as warm as we would like. Had a scout camp over weekend and both me and my son were quite cold with outside temp around 30 even though we had thermals + pants with wool socks (feet were esp cold). Bag is great above 35 or 40, but need a top cover or thicker bag for freezing weather.
