Great fitting helmet, but drips sweat

3 years ago

I'll start out by saying that this is the best fitting helmet I have ever worn. The 3D printed mesh wraps around and cushions my head perfectly. I would give it 5 stars, but it could use some slight improvements. Since it's an all plastic liner with tiny hexagon shaped holes, there is absolutely no sweat absorption. My sweat just drips down into my face. I had to switch from a bubble to a cage because of this as my sweat droplets would fling against my visor and cause vision distortion. Even with the cage I'm consistently having to wipe down my face between (and during) shifts where I did not have to with prior helmets. I guess the foam type padding in other helmets have a bit of sweat absorption to prevent this, but that also probably means more weight so I digress. I would suggest some sort of headband or something similar to supplement, particularly, if you wear a full visor. Also, the all plastic nature of the liner caused some initial irritation to my forehead, but after a dozen or so skates wearing it now I don't seem to notice.
