My LG Superleggera! I have never had heat problems with my aero helmets, I find them very comfortable from a temperature standpoint.

It's not even close to that hot in Kona during the bike. I don't think I have ever done a race where the bike was done at that hot a temperature, to be honest, and I race in AZ in early and late summer.

I will probably never where an aero helmet, unless of course I improve my cycling in a big way. 

This past summer, I was riding a Century in Chico California when an old lady wearing a hat and dress, riding a three speed with a basket on the front, passed me while climbing a medium steep grade.  If I would have had a golf ball dimpled aero helmet on when that happened, my racing days may have been over for good.

I like the styling, it definitely seems to reduce the dork factor involved in wearing an aero helmet.  If I had a tri bike I'd probably be all over it.

really? In what way does having a golf ball with a cut off tail strapped to your noggin make you look less like a dork than having any other helmet on...

i don't care about the golfball shape...but love the little spoiler thingy....they copied that straigh up from rally cars....if you check out mitsubish lancer and subaru wrx, the rally versions have those.  

pretty cool.  pretty soon we are going to see a real spoiler ala fast and furios on those thigns to help with downforce to keep the front low.
