I bought last years model of the Giro Ravine, and it seems to fit my head perfectly. But when I look at myself in the mirror, it looks huge on my head. Do all helmets make your head look big?

Well, I guess since a helmet has to be bigger than your head to protect it it would make your head look big.... Whatever I don't really care that much I'd rather have an uninjured head even if it's big.

If your head looks big, but you GO big, then everything looks okay.

Thanks for the replies. I was just worried that I had picked out an unusualy sized helmet, but I guess not.

dylhole, wear a helmet. It will eventually save your melon and also, it makes you look cool. I think normal skiers wearing helmets is catching up fast. I have three helmets ^^

if you want you head to look 5x bigger than it really is, get a k2 helmet (what i have, damn). If you want to look good, get the RED sky cap or their new X something or other, those are both very cool.

I think it would be cold to wear night skiing with the snow guns on though.
