Anybody wear a street helmet in the cold?
I'm thinking about getting a reasonably priced street helmet for the idea that it should seal out more cold air than an open faced helmet. I like to extend my riding throughout the winter even into the single digit temps, looking for words of wisdom from those using street helmets in the winter. Do they fog easily? Do they really keep that much more cold air out? Good or bad idea?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Yes, they keep the cold out. At least on a bike. I have never tried one on a quad although at our local park lots of people use them. It will probably fog up, but using an anti-fog coating and leaving one of the vents open may cure this. When I ride in the winter I alway just wear a balaclava under my helment. This is thin enough to still get the helmet on, I can still wear my goggles, and even stay warm[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. Hope this helps.

I do. I have a nice Bell street helmet and it works nice in the winter. I use it alot to ride sleds too. I sometimes ride w/ open face on the sled, but it gets cold when that powder gets up in there and on your nose, and its all cramped wearing a face mask and goggles. I really like my street bike full facer. My woman starts wearing hears as soon as the fall hits.
