air vented helmets?
I'm looking for a light weight 1/2 or possibly 3/4 helmet. I don't mind paying the price for a good helmet but if there isn't much difference than the cheaper models why bother. Do the air vents help? I thought that would maybe make a big difference on coolness???? Any comments???

I've got this HJC top of their line AC 1/2 helmet. Very comfortable, good venting, well made, reasonably priced. I think I got if for around $80 something. It's a little big, but not that big. I tried many on at different places and this was one of the most comfortable. Good quality too.

I bought the Scorpion EXO200 3/4. Best ventilation I have used. Also it is Snell rated.Also has a ratcheting visor which you can get in clear, tinted or dark smoke. It has an anti fogging agent for the shield. Here is a couple pics of mine. Notice how the inside of the helmet is constructed for maximum air flow. It also has the rear vent for cross through ventilation. I live in Florida and as long as I am moving my head does not sweat. All vents can be closed for cooler weather.

Once you get the DOT and Snell approvals, anything with a bigger price tag is just made of lighter and more comfortable materials. So if you're going for comfort, you're looking at a more expensive helmet. Itreally won't protect any better than a cheap one with the DOT/Snell approvals.
As far as half and three-quarter helmets, what's the point of vents if the helmet is "open" already?
