my helmet is warmer than all of my toques, which is an added bonus to wearing it.

Yeah, Red helmets are the best looking I think. I wear a Synth and it's awesome. Check out this year's Synth and Hi-Fi on burton.com/Red.

Check this site out I just found - it's for a soft, padded helmet that you can wear a beanie over and supposedly look like it's just a beanie. Costs $60. Could be good. Check it out at hellbeanie.com.

I dont know man, that hellbeanie crap is a cool concept but if it doesn't protect as well as a helmet and doesnt save your life then whats the point?

The Hellbeanie looks like they have just taken a rugby helmet/guard and tried to market it to skiers.

I think they should make really big, strechable beanies that go on the OUTSIDE of the helmet. Then you can look like Jack-n-the-box...heh.

^they do make those but they're only for little kids. Demon makes sick helmets, they're way cheaper than Giro and they replace a broken one if you send it back to them after it breaks

I got a giro nine.9 at the end this season after my mountain closed but before i went on a big ski trip out west. I never liked a helmet or the thought of riding with one but my friends were always jinxing me saying 'your gonna crack your head open blah blah' I picked one up in colorado on my way out to mammoth cuz someone told me u cant go into the unbound park at mammoth without a helmet so I got one made it to mammoth tons of people riding without helmets. But I think it was a good investment you dont have much to lose by wearing one except looking a little silly.

only probleith helmets is that (in most cases) you haev to get a new one after a serious impact.
*********************************************************
Jules: Whoa... whoa... whoa... stop right there. Eatin' a bitch out, and givin' a bitch a foot massage ain't even the same fuckin' thing.
Vincent: Not the same thing, the same ballpark.
Jules: It ain't no ballpark either. Look maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but touchin' his lady's feet, and stickin' your tongue in her holyiest of holies, ain't the same ballpark, ain't the same league, ain't even the same fuckin' sport. Foot massages don't mean shit.
Vincent: Have you ever given a foot massage?
Jules: Don't be tellin' me about foot massages - I'm the foot fuckin' master.
Vincent: Given a lot of 'em?
Jules: Shit yeah. I got my technique down man, I don't tickle or nothin'.
Vincent: Have you ever given a guy a foot massage?
Jules: Fuck you.
Vincent: How many?
Jules: Fuck you.
Vincent: Would you give me a foot massage? I'm kinda tired.
Jules: Man, you best back off, I'm gittin' pissed.

pro tec might possibly be the worst helmet for skiing as far as portection goes... i would go with a giro 9 or ravine if you want a little more protection. they are comfy and warm

the 9 looks uber nice...i need a new helmet this year and i may have to get one of those...i wear the skycap right now and it's rad...super warm an durable......always wear a helmet...better safe than sorry as weak as that sounds......i was at mammoth last winter and my friend whipped his head off a rail and hit so hard he was covulsing after impact...and he was wearing a red too...if he hadn't been wearing his helmet, i don't even want to think about it...protect your dome piece...
