[dsn_klr650] helmet color ???

[Patrick Sprague]

I've worn white helmets for over 10 years and IMO they are cooler than darker lids. If you are concerned about being seen, a white lid is one of the most visible there is, along with blaze orange and Hi-Viz Yellow. I had a silver gray Toyota a while back, loved that color 'cause it looked the same dirty or spotless. But it also was nearly invisible on the road, blended right in on overcast or rainy days.
