I think the mesh on top is dense enough to prevent sunburns. I haven’t had any issues with it.

I’m looking for a solution to vent sunburn on my balding head. Have you had any issues with sunburn through the little vents on the top?

@Andrew

I’ve only done a few big runs and rides in the 95-105 degree range, so I don’t have a whole lot of personal experience, but…

I don’t think the small bit of black fabric added to your head will make much (if any) difference, especially considering most of it is already hidden under a black helmet.

White would technically be better for reflecting sun/heat as you mentioned, but practically speaking, I think the black one would be fine.

Quick question for you (I may be overthinking this entirely too much) I have a black Giro helmet and was thinknig it would look cool to have a black one underneath, but my question is would this make me even more hot when out riding during the summer? I was thinking that a solid white one might keep me cooler. I live in Dallas and it is usually 80 degrees in the mornings and 100 during the day.
