I'm in the market for a new full face helmet, mine is is several years old and it's time to replace it. I'm a Suomy wearer, they fit me the best so brand isn't an issue. For aesthetic reasons I'd go with a flat black but a helmet with a bright wild paint scheme should be more visible if a little over the top aesthetically. Thoughts?

Colorful. All-black gets too hot under the sun and I like the added visibility of color.

I wear a matte black full-face. It is too hot.

I wear this Scorpion EXO 400 Chameleon... It's very comfortable and I haven't noticed it being to hot.

I've got an Icon matte black at the moment. Love the helmet and the look, but wish I'd have gone for a different color. This summer was brutal hot in the Midwest, and sitting at stop lights cooked the dome something fierce.

Both of my helmets are Matte Black. I have an older Icon with gold accents, and a brand new Bell for the racetrack only.
