Surviving Texas heat aka helmet suggestions

DeSoto's Skin Cooler fabric is quite effective.

As for helmets, the more expensive ones are the ones that are more vented. So don't hesitate to try different brands to get one that fits you.

I have very thick hair, so ventilation is a must. I've been looking at the Giro Aeon or Atmos.

Same. I just bought the Aeon last week and wore it for the first time yesterday. It was in the mid to high 80s, and I did a nice 40-mile ride. It was super breezy, so I wasn't aware of the ventilation difference between that and my Lazar helmet, but it's noticeably lighter, which I really appreciated.
