I used to wear a Skid-Lid because it seemed cooler (especially for
Texas summers) but I was always nervous about how well it would
protect me.  When the Bell Tourlite came out, I decided to get one,
heat or not.  I've been wearing it two summers now (going on three).
It's as cool as the Skid-Lid, in my opinion, and I feel much better
now.  About a year ago I convinced my wife to trade her Skid-Lid in
on a Tourlite too, and she has had no complaints as regards the
heat.  (She actually does more heat-of-the-day biking than I do).

After I read the results of the Snell test on the Bell and Skid-Lids,
I was even gladder I made the switch.
