Clearly by reading other posts in this forum, helmet mfgs just aren't keeping up with the commuter needs. I would have guessed by now we'd see Ken's clear lid with the LEDs or tubing under the cover, some traffic sound proofing/warmth over the ears along with vents that close for waterproofing. For winter, some helments have one feature but not all.

After another near miss right-hook last night with merging truck, the strobes + headlight are getting lost in a sea of car lights. On upward hills are another problem. They're not seeing the helmet reflectant and a single forward facing light probably won't fix it.
