Looking for a new block protector, being a old fart i have been blessed with having to wear hearing aids. Need to find a helmet that vents very well due to the fact the hearing aids don't like moisture, any thoughts ?????

A few options, but again I'd try the helmets on with your hearing aids to make sure you are comfortable.
I love the Motorfist Dominator Helmet. It vents very well and is lightweight
Next, I have experience fitting people with Hearing aids in the EVS Helmets. They too are light, comfortable, and well ventilated
the scorpion helmets can be good too, because some have an internal pump system allowing you to customize the fit.
Try them on and see what works for you!!

Your best bet is going to be the Dominator helmet by Motorfist. Light weight and great venting.

Thanks for the reply,I will check them out at the sled show. My wife altered the padding on my existing helmet to make room for the hearing aids and no squeeling,it worked. Jus need to fine something that vents well. Again thanks for the help!

my G-max helmet vents very well too, it is a little snug getting it on, but you can get different styles with them too.

I will be stopping by to inquire about finding a new lid. had a pretty good get off sept long on the sicle and pretty sure I'm gonna have to replace it. hit head first after my front hooked on a root at a good clip, went down so fast and hard I never had a chance to get my hands off the bars....I saw the bright light and was dizzy for a bit.

Yes a very bad idea, same on quads but see it all the time. Things happen so quick, and a good knock to the head is all it takes

I'm little help in your search most likely, but go and try on as many helmets as you can. I find that every helmet fits just a little different. I wear a Fox Carbon V3...$150 score on Ebay..super light, comfy, and a pile of vents to stay cool...but not too cool...seems about just right.
