Riding helmet for rain
There has been a shift in the construction industry to shift to newer hard hats that encompass the whole skull. Some job sites require these as they are safer than a traditional hard hat and they come with a chin strap to maintain a secure protective device in a fall scenario. I have been eyeballing these styles, but hey tended to be a bit expensive (approx $400-500). As time has marched on, Milwaukee came out with the “Bolt” series. I bought one for under $100 and added the visor for another $60. On my rainy afternoon ride, I put it to the test and it finally produced what I have been looking for, as I have prescription eyeglasses that always tend to get fogged up and smeared. The visor sits further away from the face and that allows ventilation, and protecting my eyeglasses. On the pictures, I show the cushioning on both my normal riding helmet and the hard hat. As you can see, the Bolt has more coverage and protection. A new option at your local safety gear store.
