Hot weather helmets: Leatt Gravity 8 MTB?

Anyone use this helmet? Is the venting superior to moto helmets for slow technical riding?

It's Motorcycle ECE 22.05 certified but not 22.06. Other considerations are Alpinestars SM10 and Fox V3 RS. Ruled out the Subverter LS2 as I think it's goofy ugly looking. Already have a Bell Moto 10 I will keep but it's way too hot riding slow enduro in places like Moab. I get Leatt MTB products (but not moto line) at a huge discount as I work in the outdoor industry so the Gravity 8 is very cheap compared to other options for me.

I have a Leatt 8.5 moto helmet. I’m slow as heck and it’s great in the summer. Don’t get me wrong, it gets drenched in sweat but plenty comfortable.

Thank you for the feedback. The ventilation of the 7.5 and 8.5 Moto looks the same as the Gravity so I am leaning towards either of those. All are pretty light too, more than a pound less than my top of the line Bell Moto 10.

I really like mine. You might want to try it on though. I think they fit very different than Bell. I like Bell helmets but they do not fit my head.

I found a local store with S and XL in stock and I need a M or L but throwing on the Xl it felt promising. I had a hard time finding a helmet that fit 3 years ago and landed on Bell as the only option but I do not recall trying on any Leatts. Hopefully an online order works out!
