Here's another new helmet idea.

Heated and air conditioned helmet. For real.

That is so awesome. I wonder how well it works.

Cool, put a rearview in it and call it a day. Or maybe add a slurpy machine too, then I'm in

I considered getting the snowmobile version of my GMAX street helmet to make winters more comfortable but it probably isn't DOT certified, even if it is pretty much the same helmet.

That said, I think it'd be a little weird to be sweating under your jacket and cool up top. The minimal improvement to comfort makes me question the usefulness.

Just need something for the FOG that works!

I don't know if this works or not, but more heat is lost and gained through your head and scalp because of the blood flow, so keeping your head and neck cool (or warm) may help to keep you cooled off (or warm).

I wonder if the bottom of the helmet is sealed off to prevent all that cool air from just dumping out around your neck. A nice cool helmet would be nice in the summer.

Then combine it with this:

Link to original page on YouTube.

I personally prefer the suck it up and deal with it method though. It's cheaper AND offers better protection from wimp-ification

Yeah, I saw that one before. People were joking that it looked like a perv doing a reach-around.
