For temperatures below about 25°F, I use a Giro Edit which has a GoPro mount on it. I use the mount for my helmet light.

It has a closeable vent on top that doe help with ventilation. I also use a Specialized helmet that has a Giro winter shield inside for temperarures above 25°F.

It’s colder but works better for Denver’s wild temperature swings.

Use
furnace tape under the insole. It’s a bit thicker and has adhesive so it stays in place. You can trim it to fit.
