Will this helmet be too hot for So Cal summer?

I have used this helmet on 3-5 hour rides in Indiana summers on high humidity days and it is about the same as wearing a ball cap. That is why I like the helmet, it is light and not restrictive. If it is hot, you will sweat, but it is a great helmet for rides in high(er) temps.

Hell no. This helmet is excellent for snowmoblie riding with -10 wind chills.

There is enough padding to protect you, but the helmet fits nicely. I've been using mine for many months and I find it quite comfortable. It's great for ATVing. The only problem I have with this helmet is that I wish the front visor stuck out a little farther to shield my eyes when I'm heading into the sun. I got a white one because it's cooler and provides more visibility to other drivers.

This was a gift for my grandson who lives in Hawaii so I don't think hot weather will be a problem for you.

I guess that would depend on where you live. I live in Texas, so yes, it is very suitable for our hot climate.

My husband uses it as a summer jacket. We live in the desert. It gets over 100 F

He uses the cap with helmet, but the cap helps with the sweat and the heat. He recommend it.

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.

Yes as long as its cool outside and your not running. Thick nylon and padding.

I like the helmet. ..however it may be a over kill for your bike. I think you can find something alittle less to ride in.

The material is lightweight, so it shouldn't be too bad in hot temperatures. However it doesn't breathe well like cotton fabric, so it could get sweaty.

I think it would be great because of how light it is. It's also a great windbreaker. I don't think you'd get too hot.

Our summer hasn't started here yet, but we get up to 125 F in the summer. So I imagine they would be, but I have some cute pillow cushions on the seat, so it would not be hot. They are so study, and comfy. I bought 3 of them this month.

Each person is different and their tolerance to climate is going to be different. I tend to overheat easily and found that 45-65 with this product is great. It keeps me cool in the warmer weather and warm in the colder weather. However 65 might be the extreme of this weight. I would suggest a light weight merino wool base layer if you are going to be in 60+ degree weather. You can always strip down a layer but it is hard to strip off your base layer :)

I am not sure... by all means it is a good and sturdy helmet. My son uses it for skateboarding and I think he is well protected.

I really don't know for sure we bought this a few months ago and haven't had any problems yet with it being too hot. It seems cool enough but it's still cold weather.

Yes, it gets very hot! The cover is polyester and rayon. That, combined with memory foam, sets your legs on fire. I bought this but cannot use it because of that. I will buy the one with the cotton cover next.
