The designers did a tight job integrating both those lights into the helmet. How is the heat? It doesn't look like it has many vents, plus the heat generated by the LED's looks like it goes into the head, however little heat it is.
Haha! That's a pretty funny idea, of looking the through the lens...it reminds me of Dumb Donald's hat!
As for the cooling/heat issue, I haven't worn the thing yet (I just ordered it), so no first hand feedback, but I'm not too worried about it since most of my urban trips, even if I go hard and get hot, are short, so I should be able to bear it. But no, I don't expect it to be particularly cool, though it is supposed to have internal channeling to let the air flow, and I keep my hair very short! They're low output LEDs so I think the heat will be negligible, particularly, again, for the anticipated shortness of the typical use.
Anyway, if it turns out to be uncomfortably hot, I have other helmets for the hotter days. I'm actually hoping it provides a little more warmth for winter rides when compared to one of my really vented 'race' type helmets, which always necessitate wearing a skullcap underneath and/or a rain cover on the helmet, which does get blinkin' hot.
