Once I read that it could be good to have 2 helmets.

One to deal with freezing/cold temperatures
One to deal with hot/warm temperatures

I guess that both types can be used for cooler temperatures.

What is you opinion about that ?

Do you have some suggestions of helmets, some models you like, or even different advices to share with us ?

Maybe you’ve already made a decision on this but in general I run one helmet that tests well on the Virginia tech tests https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html

Then I use a buff/hat under the helmet on colder days. This is usually good for me down to freezing temps, generally I don’t ride much below that since I don’t have studded tires at the moment.
