I am ordering a helmet to use in my black Exige S. I have a choice of black or white (HJC AR-10). I have ordered black to match my car (sorry for being so vain).
I then started thinking about possible differences in function, mainly temperature differences. I came across this piece of advice in another thread:
"Something to consider carefully is the color of the helmet. If you are driving an open car, go karting outdoors, ride a motorcycle etc where you are exposed to the sun a white helmet makes a big difference. You can always have SDD add some graphics to personalize it. First time I sat in traffic at Myrtle Beach Bike Week with a black helmet on in the summer sun I retired it and have gone with white ever since."
Is there a significant temperature difference between white and black helmets in a closed top car? I don't expect to do too much outdoor go karting except for maybe one day of karting school in Oxnard.
Thanks in advance.
