On a recent 4-day trip across the Southwest desert, temperatures varied between 95 and 114 deg Fahrenheit. I've been working on keeping my skin from burning and core from overheating with the judicious use of non-armored shirt and pants (this is NOT a debate about the wisdom of THAT strategy). But, no matter what I did as far as adjusting vents, visor, etc, I could not avoid having my head overheating. There's just not enough ventilation in the helmet (I have a white HJC-IS Max modular helmet)

So, I've started researching this issue and it seems none of the major helmet manufacturers has solved this issue for long-distance desert riders. EXCEPT this company. For $600, it provides not only adequate ventilation with the use of two fans (powered by the bike's electrical system), but also a 'cooler' using the same technology found in high-end vehicles with cooled and ventilated seats (my 2018 GMC Canyon has them and they're fantastic).

What do you think of this solution? And, is this truly the only solution out there?
