The CPSC and ASTM standard in the US require that a helmet pass lab tests after conditioning in cold at temperatures in the range of -13 to -17 degrees C (F 9 to -1 degrees). Most other standards, including cold places like Canada, have a similar requirement. These temperatures should cover most bicycle riding.

The best way that I’ve found to winterize my current helmet is with a Goretex Infinium Beanie. It presents the best balance between wind resistance, ventilation, and moisture management in temperatures between 15F – 35F.
