Once I read that it could be good to have 2 helmets.

  • One to deal with freezing/cold temperatures
  • One to deal with hot/warm temperatures

I guess that both types can be used for cooler temperatures.

What is you opinion about that ?

Do you have some suggestions of helmets, some models you like, or even different advices to share with us ?

If it’s too hot, a helmet’s not going to do much.

+1 for layers. There’s no reason to have more than one helmet, just add layers.

I mean I could buy a helmet with more holes or without thick padding inside for it to be cooler, and add more layers if I get too cold.

You could, I just personally don’t see the point. I ride in somewhat extreme temps (-15F to 100F), and honestly, the helmet isn’t even a consideration. Then again, I’m just a commuter, so maybe there’s a reason to bother for competitions or something.
