Helmet Temps

[ptoemmes]

....The price on the box says 245 pounds (UK).

I paid $175... tatt2r paid $175, NIB. Only because it didn't fit the prior owner, either.

That's a steal. Designer Helmets http://www.designerhelmets.com/prodlist.php?cat=Roof&prod=New+RO5+Boxer+V8http://www.designerhelmets.com/currency.php
Shows the ROOF Boxex V8 as 304 pounds 25 of which is shipping to USA so 279 for the lid. A the moment that translates into about $480 USD. :shocked:

Where were the thermometers placed in relation to the interior of the helmet?

Makes no difference as long as they were in the same place. The experiment was to check relative temperature, not actual. Result was that color does not affect internal temperature

Interesting experiment. Where were the thermometers placed in relation to the interior of the helmet? Were they placed close to the upper-interior helmet shell (same positioning as your skull) or were they roughly in the center of the helmet.

If you look closely at the pics, you can see the thermometers inside the helmets.

The thermometers were in the center of helmets. Like I said, not very scientific but it answered my question. So now when I look for a new helmet, I'll look for any design/color that I like. I just want good ventilation now.

Having several inches of insulation (via air) would impact their readings.
I would venture to bet that the closer the thermometers were to the shell, the greater the difference would be.

" . . . The white one was warm to the touch on outside and the black was very hot."

My bald head would be definitely be closer to the shell than the center of the helmet.hyea:

Not really a big deal though, experimentation is half the fun.
