==========================================

As per the black pads or anything black.  The only time a Black pad will come 
into consideration as producing heat is when the Sun is out so the pad will 
absorb the heat.  Black as a color is all colors and absorbs.  White is the 
absense of all colors and reflects.  This is scientific fact and not personal 
mumbo jumbo.
If you are concerned about heat absorbtion because of the Sun and where you 
ride choose a lighter color for the day and use the Black at night.  I wear all 
Black all the time, but didn't go with the Black Equipedic because of knowing 
what Black does, so I as him to make me one in Royal Blue. My helmet is sand 
stone off white just because I don't want my head hotter than normal :) a black 
helmet will be hotter.  It looks nicer IMHO but is hotter(fact).  If you want 
to be cooler wear white, off white, beige, cream, silver, blah blah.  If you 
want to Look Really Cool wear Black but you are going to be hotter. :) Now 
don't get mixed up about color holding in heat; it won't,  No matter what 
color.  Color only matters as to absorbtion.    G
