Someone once told me that I should buy a white helmet instead of the dark blue I intended to get (I bought the blue anyway)...because the white helmet would be much cooler inside when riding in the sun.
So my question to the collective motorcycle gurus who peruse these pages...do you have any experience which verifies the theory that a white helmet is cooler than a black helmet?
One can definitely see a white helmet over the other colors... Not much on that color. My helmet is silver.

Place a black and a white object in the sun. Let them sit for an hour. At the end of the hour, which is hotter?
On the surface...sure. Does the heat make it through the stryrofoam cooler inside the shell? I doubt it.
