Silver Cycling Helmet
Will a silver cycle helmet make me more or less likely to overheat?
Hi. We're having a bit of a heat wave in London and I cycle to all my elderly clients (I'm a carer). I have a tendency to heat stroke and would normally wear a white cap if walking - would my silver crash helmet deflect heat or absorb it? I have to be out on my bike for a total of two hours. I'm wondering if there is a better colour? Not wearing a crash helmet is not an option - I would have had serious head injuries last year without it. We've not had very hot summers in the two years I've been cycling.
silver isn;t going to matter
absorption in the infrared is about the same for everything but white
silver is not any better
also, when you ride, the air flow dissipates the heat mostly
and as someone else said, the styrofoam is an insulator that keeps surface heat away from the head
though they all trap your own head heat inside
which is why air vents are key
and why more air vents cost more money
though the more vents, the less safe it is
