I rode with 2 different Modular helmets. I disliked both of them. Had the original and a Mod 2. I have gone to the MX style helmet with goggles. I really love this set-up. I get very warm when I ride, and I love not fogging up like my Mods always did. I feel like this style helmet is maybe 2* cooler than the Modular helmets. So, I'm glad I switched away. If you're not a sweater, you probably will be just fine.
