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 ?

I have an older helmet that I'm still using but would definitely get a MIPs helmet now if I were buying one. During the cold months, I just wear the same helmet with a neck gaiter. A scarf also suffices if I'm feeling European that morning.

You'll want some really warm gloves too if you're going to be riding out in the cold.

Those bar mittens are killer too.

That's a specific brand. The generic item is called a pogie.
