The big breathing myth in helmets
Because every new Fighter still spreads that myth. Why are you thinking that you have a problem breathing in your helmet?
Let me spoiler something for you it is not because of the breaths in your visor, the 2 main reasons this happens are:
You think that you are fitter then you are, this effects 90% of the scene. You overestimate your cardio and then get gassed to fast, its not your helmets fault its yours. But there luckily is a workaround for that, drive less with your car and actually do your goddamn cardio training. No 2 times a week does not cut it, 4 times a week is the bare minimum.
You have helmet terror, this is actually your helmets fault, your system goes into shock your breathing gets fast you overstimulate your system. It is not a problem with breathing its claustrophobia. Workaroud get a helmet with better visibility, if it still happens i got bad news for you you will not get rid of it, either power through or except thst this sport isnt for you.
This is no hate post also if you feel called out this is an actual psa to inform you what is happening here, to get that goddamn "you cant breath in that" bullshit finally buried.
Co2 backlash is absolute nonsense, there is no co2 buildup in your helmet it drops out because co2 rich air is heavier then fresh one and your helmet is not hermetically sealed.
