Fashion Q: Helmet/Sunglasses Question

[Biciclista]

wow. i usually pick function over fashion. But it's your head. why you would want a hot black helmet ?
As a serious cyclist, I would never choose something that caused me to sweat more just so that I looked better. That's my opinion.

I don't really care what color my helmet is, as long as it's comfortable and visible. Black helmets would be neither.

Personally, I hate white sunglasses. I think they look cheap (even when they are not). I think it's a throw back to my desire to resist the 80's trends. All the girls with the big hair and heavy make-up seemed to favor both white sunglasses and white cars. I can't stand either to this day!

My sunglasses are dark charcoal and I have one white helmet and one dark charcoal one. I say, go with neutrals and use the jerseys or the bikes for the fun colors!

Thanks I think... on the sweat issue, the Volt is a nice helmet, fits well, but is basically smooth around the front, whereas the Giro's have channels. That is about all I could figure. I've worn white, red, blue, silver, and black helmets, as far as I could tell color had very little to do with feeling hot or cooler. I do where a headband (highly recommend), it might be the the way the Volt fits my head, but I didn't have the problem with my Pneumo or Atmos. I think I'm going with the white/silver Ionos, so I'll see which glasses look better with it...

Thanks again
