00:00If you've ever pulled off your helmet after a ride and felt like you just stepped out of a sauna,
00:04hair plastered to your forehead, sweat running into your eyes, this one's for you.
00:08I went digging through the reviews, the sales numbers, and way too many writer forums to find
00:13the 5 best breathable helmet liners you can actually buy right now, and honestly,
00:17a couple of these cost less than your morning coffee. Let's get into it.
00:22Starting off, we've got this summer quick dry breathable liner cap, and it's the crowd
00:27favorite for a reason, almost 5,000 of these have sold. The big thing here is the fabric,
00:32it's a lightweight quick dry material that pulls sweat off your scalp instead of letting it just
00:36sit there and soak in. It also doubles as UV protection, so if you ride with an open face
00:42helmet or you're out on the bike all afternoon, your head's covered. And here's the kicker,
00:47it's $4. 4. At that price you can grab two, keep one in the bike, and never ride with a
00:54soggy head
00:54again. Next up is this motorcycle helmet inner cap, the racing beanie style. What I like about
01:01this one is the fit, it's cut close to the skull with a snug elastic band, so it doesn't bunch
01:06up
01:06or shift around when you're sliding your helmet on and off. That's the thing that ruins most liners,
01:11right? They roll up over your ears halfway through a ride. This one stays put. It's 524, and you can
01:20grab
01:20it in a one or two pack, which is the move if you ride daily and want a fresh one
01:24while the others
01:24in the wash. Now the Musion Balaclava style liner is the one I'd point most people toward if you want
01:30full coverage. Instead of just capping the top of your head, this one comes down over your neck,
01:36so you're getting sun protection on the back of your neck and the sides of your face,
01:40the spots that always get torched. It's breathable, sweat absorbing, and rated for all seasons,
01:45which means it's not just a summer piece, it'll cut windchill in the cooler months too.
01:50Perfect 5-star rating, $4.08. That's a lot of coverage for pocket change.
01:57Okay, this next one's a bit different. The helmet liner replacement pad isn't something you wear,
02:03it's the actual cushioning that goes inside your helmet. If your lid is a few years old and the
02:08original padding has gone flat, crusty, and let's be honest, a little funky smelling, this is the fix.
02:14It's breathable, sweat absorbent, and fully washable, so you can pull it out and clean it
02:19whenever. At $9.95 it's the priciest on the list, but compared to buying a whole new helmet?
02:26It's nothing. 5-stars, and writers say it makes an old helmet feel new again.
02:32And finally, the cycling skullcap with the cooling mesh. This is the one for people who run really hot,
02:39because the mesh construction actually lets airflow move through it, so when your helmet vents pull air
02:43in, it's reaching your scalp instead of hitting a wall of fabric. It's super stretchy, quick-drying,
02:49and thin enough that it won't mess with your helmet fit at all. Great for cyclists, works just as well
02:55for motorcycle riders. 490, 5-star rating. If you're a heavy sweater, start here.
03:03All five are linked down in the description, so go check the current prices, they move around a lot.
