PSA PSA--Giro Montaro helmet at Sierra

[Andy Mink]

I've been using this helmet and find it comfortable, light, and well ventilated. Granted, I don't have a lot to compare against but if you strike oil on the first drill, why keep drilling? I wear a medium and have room for adjustment.

@Andy Mink, how is the sweat management?

I just took it out in 94* dry heat and ventilation is very good, I find it to be much better ventilated than my Smith with the Coroyd which can limit airflow.

In Nevada the RH is around <10%. I haven't had any sweat issues. Maybe I'm not riding hard enough!

Turns out they're all gone, anyway, but thanks @Andy Mink and @Philpug!

I'm looking for a lighter weight, xc-style, well ventilated, Hi-Viz helmet.

It's funny, 5 years ago, Hunter Orange was all the rage, now it is more difficult to find.

Might give this a try: https://www.backcountry.com/giro-artex-mips-helmet

Wrong season!
Smith uses Coroyd for winter airconditioning, at which it is too good. It needs to rain in summer, not winter.
It’s probably more all the unsealable vents and neck exposure that make them freezing. Don’t leave home without a hood.
