Looking for good VENTILATED helmet

Anyone have any suggestions about a good, full-face VENTILATED helmet. I live in Florida, so it is super hot most of the time, so looking for something with GREAT ventilation. Right now I have one that is "supposedly" ventilated, but it is hot as hell in there. Also have a 3/4 helmet with face shield that I wear, but would feel safer with a full face. Thanks for any help!

I had a pair of Bieffe Airtech lids - supposedly the lightest and best vented helmets in their day.

About a month ago, I got an Arai, RX-7 RR. The manual is 11 or 14 pages long. Right off the top of my head (pun intended) I think it has 6 intake vents and two or four exhaust vents. This doesn't include the mechanism that will lock the visor in a slightly open "venting" position.

It also feels like it weighs about 1/10 what my Bieffes weigh.

Overall, I think it's the best lid I've ever tried on.

Oh yeah, I got the McCoy Slide King race replica - which we all
know is the coolest and fastest.... :p



Bottom line though - try on lots of models and see which one feels the best on your head. Cheers.

Hey...a friend of mine has the exact same helmet. Did you know that you can pull on the chin piece and it extends a little...helps keep wind from coming up in the helmet (in the event you DON'T want more ventilation)

I did know that, in fact. The owner's manual that came with the lid was in Japanese, so I found the downloadable manual on the Arai website. It's explained in there. :D :D
