helmet color ???

[The Squasher]

I will be buying a new Arai full face helmet (RX7RR4) but I'm not sure what color to get. It's either White or Titanium grey. Have any of you noticed a differance in inside temperature from a black (dark colored) helmet compared to a white (light colored) helmet? I know black cars get hotter inside then white cars so I was wondering if helmet color would do the same. I'm not that concerned with visability to other drivers with either grey or white because both helmet colors seem to blend in to the urban (city) background. I know orange, yellow, or lime green would be more visable but I don't like those colors. I like the Titanium Grey color better then the White but if it makes my brain cook I'll go with the white. Thanks. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

I used to have a black helmet which did seem hotter to me. I doubt that you would feel any difference between the grey or white. Kurt Grife
