Need a new lid after trying to chip out a chunk of Gloucestershire with my head yesterday

Looked a Bell super but not sure if long sides would work with traditional dummies, anyone got one?

I've got one. I take it by dummies you mean sunnies!? I use mine with Jawbones with no issues, but if you use sunnies where the arms sit quiet wide you'd have issues.

Same as twohats, fine with jawbones. Great lid so far, sits real low but still seems to vent really well. Wore it yesterday on a climbtastic Peak ride with no issues at all.

My only gripe about it is if you sweat a lot, be prepared for lots of sweat in your eyes/sunnies! whilst the over brow venting is a great idea it still doesn't stop you sweating and the minimal forehead padding soon gets overloaded.

Bontrager Lithos. Light, comfy and good back coverage. Adjustable visor.

Use mine with Goggles and 'Sunnies' (Radars) without a problem.

Like mine a lot, wouldn't say it was overly sweaty, but as the padded band doesn't run all the way across, so sweat does tend to drip down easier at the front.

I have a minor niggle that you can't stick you fingers through the rear vents to have a itch, and the paint seem to scatch quite easily.
Oh, as a glasses wearer, I've not felt the longer sides caused any issues.
