So I was out riding on the weekend on a rough sand track and could only run race pace for about 10 minutes max then got real bad arm pump and couldnt hang on very well, not too bad for not riding for over 2 years until Jan this year.

By 2pm i was the only one left riding so i pulled off my goggles and done a moto without them, i could instantly tell my breathing was much better and i ran race pace for the whole 20 minutes.

Now im thinking i should look into running a different helmet and goggle set up for maximum air flow, thoughts? Im currently using a shoei vfs and 100% goggles

LS2 Subverter has the most ventilation and is the most technologically advanced helmet on the market for protection. There is only 3 or 4 helmet manufacturers in the world and all brands, high and low end helmets, are simply built to a brand specifications at one of those facilities. LS2 is certainly one of those brands... however, they are also one of the 4 manufacturers allowing them to keep their costs much lower than the competitors.

Needless to say... you get a high end helmet for a mid level helmet pricing. My son had a direct hit, high velocity blow to the side of the helmet and was not concussed. I was shocked as hard as he hit that he didn’t receive the slightest headache let alone a concussion. Awesome product!

What 100%s are you using? Stratas pinch my nose pretty bad, but the accuris and racecrafts work very well (for me). The racecrafts are my preferred ones.

I and a number of friends have been wearing Klim helmets for years. Top of the line quality for $240 - $300. Tough to beat. we wear them mainly for their ventilation. Tests have shown it's the most vented helmet on the market with 13 intake and 6 exhaust vents and only 3 lbs. 3 ounces. Amazing quality AND ventilation for reasonable price. Price suggests economy, but, this is a top of the line helmet.

Do you wear a neck brace when riding? They will block a lot of airflow up into the helmet.

get a Leatt. you won't find a helmet with more air-flow on the market. this is good in your case.

Try a breath right strip. It has made a difference for me running and riding.

Chalk me up for another Leatt fan. Just purchased the 4.5 v19.5 and it runs cool with tons of airflow.

I thought these were pretty gimmicky until I caved and bought it. Great for MTB, even better for Moto. It can be annoying having to reorder the magnet stickers but they post a fair share of discounts and deals on their IG page.
