It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

For me, headwear is more about keeping my ears warm than my head overall. Usually putting a hood on under my helmet does the trick, just have to loosen the harness a bit to account for the extra material.

If I start to get hot, I can adjust the strings or my jacket zipper to let in more air and cool off. I'm a big fan of jackets with pit zips for this reason as well.

I went with a Bell Super Air R (MIPS+Spherical) so I can add or remove the chin guard as needed. If I'm riding my ebike or doing MTB, I'll put the chin bar and goggles on, but if I'm riding my bike I'll just use the helmet part and sunglasses (or safety glasses if it's night - getting hit in the eye by bugs sucks).

100% ears are hard to keep warm, but the head generally isn't. Heck, I've got a very ventilated Specialized helmet, and with just a standard helmet liner that covers my ears and a light buff, I'm fine all winter. If I need more warmth, I put on a thicker buff, but even that often comes off once I start riding.

This way, I can use the same one helmet all year without any "tricks" or second helmet.
