661 Recon Helmet

Hi All

Anyone using a 661 Recon, just wondering how hot a helmet it is ? Using a Giro Hex at the moment.

I've got one, ventilation is ok, not really any different the bell stroker I've also got. I like it but if possible try for fit first as usual.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes going to try before I buy, just can't tell how well the vents work until your working hard.

Much of a muchness, really. Can't say the 661 is noticeably hotter than the other two helmets I've got. None of there are exactly cool once you're putting some effort in.

Although I love the styling, I personally found it a bit heavy, hot and uncomfortable.

I have ridden with one for the last three years or so. Certainly no hotter than previous helmets (Giro). Still my favourite in terms of fit and all-round useability (visor in the right place, comfortable and easily adjustable strap set up, cool enough etc.)
