A 3D-printed helmet with real performance bona fides, the return of a much-loved hydration pack design, seed-based lubes, hitch racks to save your back, and more
That Kav helmet looks to have solved problems from the previous models. Will they filter those things, like the pads, into the older models?
When you review the helmet, I’d be really interested in how it handles head coverings. Can you slip in a winter skullcap? Can you use a Halo headband on those hot summer days when that’s the only way to keep sweat from pouring into your eyes?
Except it's not. I get what you're saying, but a honeycomb structure like this is very different from an expanded foam. And yes, there's a shell, but it's not like it's hermetically sealed. I've tried three generations of these helmets and while they haven't been perfect, I can certainly at least attest they're nothing like EPS foam in terms of how they retain (or don't retain) heat.

Thanks.
Good question about adding the pads to older models. I'll find out.
And will do regarding testing the new helmet. That reminds me; I need to order one of those Halo headbands before it gets hot.
Thanks. Alopecia robbed me of my eyebrows, so those headbands are essential equipment.
Kav says honey comb is not insulating, unlike foam helmets?
I think once you cover the honeycomb with a shell, like in this helmet, it’s an excellent insulator.
