you need one with an umbrella attached to it you great big mincer! 😆

these are meant to be very good, but a bit warm

or the fox flux always gets great reviews and is a simialr beast to the xen

Look at a Uvex XP100 - better coverage, not too hot and the best fitting helmet I have ever had in any sport - proper full cradle around and up/down on your head.

Urge is a fine helmet not warm when riding but cooks when you stop as theres no air flow.

I've got the Urge lid above, the Endur-O-Matic. Absolutely love it. Marmite looks, loads of designs but so comfy it's unreal. Warm, but not as warm as you'd think, the vents work really well when moving and brow pad is designed to absorb then evaporate sweat and works well. Wore if for about 5 hours in 18-20 degrees yesterday. Lots of protection, but a bit warmer than my Xen.

Fit is not very versatile so definitely needs trying on (same with any lid though).

Rode with one of these Urge helmets for 30 mins and chucked in the van and put
my Xen back on much more air flow and cooler
The Urge is way too hot I would use it for winter But sold it for £35 quid
