zippy Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 OH so you're saying have the air drawn through the helmet from the front to the back and then down to the belt. This would work well in diluting the exhaust from the rider. and those behind me would greatly appreciate it. Also if you could hang a car air freshener in the front of the inlet at the helmet it would keep your head and ..... exhaust smelling fresh. like lemon, roses or pine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr neutron Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 You're not daft Man, is that ever a subject for debate...... Zippy, maybe you could wear those "Depends" undergarments for people with no bowel control, and get "filtered air" that way..... I personally have a used, open-faced Airoh (aren't they all open faced?), and really like it a lot. Like the snap deal for fastening & unfastening. And I definitely get more air/ventialtion/the goofy thing just feels cooler & much lighter than my mx helmet. But I do like the full face protection I get from my mx helmet. I'm curious if anyone has tried mountain bike helmets? Some of them are full face, and I'd assume that they are lightweight with some ventilation......

Jimmie I may not be "daft" but I am surely not exactly normal in my way of thinking. I seem to be able to hold a good conversation with 5-9 yr olds. Teenagers I can hold a conversation for a good 10-15 mins. Adults?? eh many of them just don't "get" my way of thinking. HMMM Depends you say? I am not socially conscious enough to actually spend money to make those behind me inhale better air. On to the helmet, I am using a NZ Tri-Vent, it is a few years old. (not sure if still available) Definitely protects my head (don't ask, just trust me it works) Vented like a screen door on a submarine. Drawbacks, I still sweat like a politician cursed with telling the truth, The liner is not removable so every so often I take it in the shower and wash it out. Most aggravating part is the buckle closure rusted right up about 3 months into owning it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowball Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I have a cycle helmet. I suppose just practicing on the bike a proper helmet is not really needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blipontheradar Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) On the comment of fans. At one time I was in shape enough to play Paint ball. Several of the protective goggle makers offered small fans that did a reasonable job of keeping the goggles from foging up and your face at least a little cooler. Look for somthing like that and you might be able to modify it into your helmet, right under the bill. Idea anyway. So, airoh is the way to go for helmets? Blip...
