This is particularly noticeable for those of us who are "folically challenged" (bald), because there's no mop of hair to help hold back the sweat, either.

There is no doubt the helmet is hotter. I sweat more and there's nothing to stop the sweat. Like I've said, we'll see when July rolls around whether I stick with the helmet this season. I haven't yet once the weather gets really hot.
