The cheapest helmet that I think is good is probably the Pro-Tec helmets. You can get them for under $40.

Leedom helmets r bad-ass. Salomons r fuckin too big. Giro 9's r ok. Boeri axis models r good 2.

The normal protecs for skating will work ok (not suited for bad falls imo) but they dont have anything for the cold (like ear flaps) but you could I guess wear a beanie tho its not the most comfy. Protec makes winter ones for a little more, maybe 60-70, havent tried those so I dont know, they look a little more like ski/snowboard helmets but not exactly. Ive found that boeries, leedoms etc are a little too heavy/bulky and pricey. I love the giro 9. I got it for 100 and its sweet, really comfy, almost as light as a beanie! I thought that Id hate wearing helmets but the giro rocks, I forget that its on after 5 min.

Dont think you can buy the earflaps, especially if you have the regular skate helmet. At getboards.com you can get this thin beanie thing that looks like itll slip right under the helmet and over your ears too.
