    Default summer helmet

    I have a black triple 8 right now and its really nice but it gets super hot in the summers of san antonio. Does anyone know of a cooler helmet? Do lighter colors or shine make a difference?

    I just found that and it's pretty much what i've been looking for for a while. 15 huge vents, and still has the skate style back. It's a bit pricy and i haven't been able to find it anywhere online though.

    Do you think It would stick well on that rubbery shell?

    I'd get something with a bit more protection; I only bought this one because I had just smashed a Giro Flak last summer and badly needed a helmet, and this one was comfy and fit well. I don't feel very safe in it, although I do still DH in it when I don't feel like wearing my full face...

    do you think the rigid styrofoam like stuff will offer more protection? I was reading about how the 2 stage rebounds when you hit your head and makes the impact worse
