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).

Yes. I pull the garment over my chin but not over my mouth or nose. Combined with a wind-proof neck gator, the head gear keeps me warm when I ride in temperatures in the upper 20s (below that, I drive my car). It is important to leave no gap under the full-face helmet, so one's neck is totally covered. The windproof neck gator is key.

I did it in the house and left it in for about 20 hrs. I put pressure on it for about 5 min. I have one on my snowmobile helment and one on my 4 wheeler helmet. It has held strong on the snowmobile but only has lasted about 6 months on the quad.

I have worn mine for up to three hours at a whack and haven't had any problems with it. It is adjustable for headsize, so you can loosen it up if it is too tight. I believe I could wear mine all day without a problem, but have no need to since my work in the woods is usually only for several hours at the most.

The pillow keeps my head very cool. I have no problems with the pillow absorbing heat. The thickness of the pillowcase will matter of course. The Thickness will impact the amount of air going to circulate the pillow.

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.

They're a bit heavy, might get uncomfortable and hot under prolonged exercise but I don't see sweat causing an issue to the material itself, it's very durable and stays on the head no matter how vigorously you move around.

It has 12% less ventilation than the Aeon, according to Giro, but I have ridden in 100 plus degree weather and still maintained a cool head. Well as cool as you can get in 100 plus degree riding.

No the whole helmet regulates the wind very well. Personally though I would go for a different helmet. It was a nice helmet, but not half as nice as my current icon alliance helmet. A little more expensive but defiantly worth it.

Sorry, I don't know. I'm not a expert. I just bought this helmet because the price is reasonable and I need it. This helmet has the name " Summer Helmet" So, it has good ventilatin. I use this for 3 season: spring, summer, fall. This helmet is light and hard but small. If you are Asian, please choose bigger size than your head size. Have a nice shopping with Amazon.

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.

I use it for road cycling and find this to be the best one yet, it maintains good tension over the face but is easy to pull under the chin if I need a little more freedom to breathe or overheat. This garment is pretty well shaped for the face, but not rigid or "structured" in any way. The thinness of the Lycra cuts the wind without overheating the face. I hope this helps, and, I have four, it's that good a fit for the huge melon on top of my neck!

That depends on your Vehicle's windscreen, the speed you are traveling, and how heavy is the rain. If you are in a full airstream your jaw and throat are going to be in the weather. The glasis beads well and the forehead seal works well , nothing leaks onto my forehead. Back of the neck gets wet, I use a neckerchief to make the seal around the neck and absorb the water runoff from the helmet.

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.

Yes, I would suggest the miller helmet over a cheap one. And yes, I own both a miller and a cheap one from HF.

As long as you're moving, much like any jacket. I rode just today while wearing it and it was 81 degrees and humid, but I was comfortable in the wind. With the liner out and the pockets and vents unzipped the air passes around you nicely, and that was riding two-up and still didn't have any problems staying comfortable.

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.
