Abstract
Coolness, ventilation, fit and sweat control are the most critical comfort needs in providing effective headwear for bicycle riders. The helmets should be protective and at the same time provide effectiveness cooling to the head. This research project is to measure the relative cooling of bicycle helmets by studying and comparing riders wearing standard-approved helmets to investigate their effectiveness in cooling of cyclist's helmet. Variables for a good and efficient helmet include materials used, shell construction, thickness, ventilation, weight and shape of helmet. Some helmet brands claim that having more vents meant more ventilation, but it was shown by this investigation that it is not that simple. It is found that the size of the vents, they locations and how they work with other vents and internal channels would provide more ventilation.
