I usually sweat like a pig. How is the ventilation on this helmet?

Ventilation is rather good except that sweat from my forehead will run down the lens,

I will leave a puddle around my spin bike and I had no noticeable venting issue with this helmet.

For an aero helmet, it's great. Consider again it is an aero helmet so you're not going to get the breeze like a normal road UFO helmet, but the design of the AA series allows air to enter the helmet through the vents in the front and flow between the helmet and your head exiting out the back. You get some breeze between the shield and your face which is nice as well.

I sweat a lot when I run my longer runs. It held up just fine. I live in a dry climate so I can't answer about the humidity. I had another armband that had a lot of condensation, but this one allows my iPod to bresthe eliminating any condensation.

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.

myself and my roommate each got one of these and we ended up putting 1.5 inches of foam inside against the back and sides because there was so much room that the helmets would shake around. There is a lot of room inside. That said, the opening might be an issue. We typically turn our heads sideways to put it on since the helmet is wider than it is deep because of the breathing features. It may be annoying putting on if you have a big head because it catches on your ears, but once on I think you will be fine

Yes, there is some noise, but not bad; I normally don't sweat that much, so it's not too hot for me.

I wear mine under my helment and it does fit more snug because of the sweatband but it keeps my head so much cooler.

No, it was very comfortable. Good air flow. I was, however, using it in cold temps. But I'd have noticed if it felt "hot" because I like to sleep very cool.

sure. mine takes about 15 minutes to acclimate. come to think of it, mine has never had an issue with sweating, or fogging up.

Not really, I wore mine many days when it was hot and it worked great to absorb sweat, keep my helmet dry and snug.

Never had a problem with sweat rolling down my face, and I`ve worn it a lot when walking, on hot days. Very cool hat in general, though the brim is a bit flimsy. I find if I roll up the whole hat tight, in the opposite direction, it seems to reverse the droop pretty well.

I thought it was hot. I tend to run warm anyway, with night sweats (TMI?) and it seemed the extra padding got extra hot and retained the heat. This is not a complaint about the product - it is well made, extremely plush and cushy. It's just a note that if you're hot and sweaty at night, this isn't one of those magic breathing, wicking matress covers that's going to alleviate any problems and could make it slightly worse. If I weren't a middle aged-woman, I'd give it 5 stars. :)

As long as you are going 5mph its fine, but idle it fogs up but clears pretty fast. Great helmet for the price.

I've never had any sweat in my face wearing the hat, even when the brim has a sweat ring my face has stayed dry. It is actually very good in a light rain too. As long as it isn't raining too hard to push down the brim.

The vents are average. The noise level is kind of high but it has a chin cover built in which helps a lot too with wind and noise. Sometimes when your around 60+ mph and turn your head it whistles but its only if you turn your head to a certain angel.

My mom has not complained about her head sweating since she has it. I never had that problem and do not personally own one, so I can only go by what she tells me.

Hi James! I just bought this recently and while I love it it's a bit of a tight fit. I have a medium sized head, and it's difficult to get the mask down to where you can really see anything. Also it's not really well ventilated. It's a great design though and really durable, but I fear that you might be out of luck if you really have a large head. I put mine on top of our coatrAck so it scares anyone who comes into the house. Hope this helps!

Helmet is roomy. I have a sm md and lg and I can wear my sons sm. The adjustable strap is very user friendly and provides a lot of range...more than a bike helmet. It's also pretty warm. I wear a thin balaclava in cold conditions ( sub 20 degrees) and all is good.
