The stuff that protects you head in the helmet is pretty much the same thing as a Styrofoam cooler is made out of. A higher grade I would imagine. There isn't much heat going to get through that. That's why we have helmets with all sorts of elaborate venting systems. White should be cooler on the out side though.

What I want is a solar powered exhaust fan that will pull air through my helmet when its 100 degrees and I'sitting still in traffic.

HAHAHAHA. Ah, come on. You mean to tell me you can't ride in that?

I rode through last winter with a half helmet and cheap cothing... I'm glad I took your guys' advice and didn't try it again this year up in Albany. My bike's on a charger in my parents basement untill I finish this semester, I got a nice long ride penciled in for April 28.

I got my bike 2 or 3 weeks ago and the weather here in western Montana has just been off and on since. Even the day I bought it it was nice when I left the house but I was riding it home in snow flurries

I've put about 100 miles on her so far just to the grocery store on nice days and cruising back roads. I think we are almost there though. It's been in the high sixties the last couple of days. I am sooooo ready to be riding daily!! I still need a helmet for Hwy riding and that pesky motorcycle endorsement might be a good idea too :blush:
