DECISION TIME

so i went around today looking for helmets and ive pretty much decided on the RED trace helmet. Every shop i went to either only had mediums or had medium and xl. I tried on the medium without a beanie on and it fit perfect...like a helmet should fit on a head. The problem is that i wear beanies under helmets so i don't know whether i shoud go with the large or would it be a good idea to take out the little pads inside the helmet? Right now im leaning towards going for a large, but since i had no way to try it on, im a bit stuck... any help would be nice.

What happens if you buy the large and then ski on a hot day? You'll have to wear the beanie to keep your helmet from kicking your ass, and you'll be quite warm as well.

Don't wear a hat underneath, supposedly it takes away much of the effectiveness of the helmet.

im gonna agree dont wear the beanie, find a helmet that you think will keep you warm and alive. if you wear a beanie and it throws off the fitting the helmet, it becomes virtually useless.

thiers no point in wearing a helmet with a beanie, it creates space in between you and the pad which can work against you. Ask any person that works or knows about helmets.
