Bern Baker or G10mx is what I think are the best. Not really skate style but sick helmets

I just switched from burton skycap 2 to a bern baker, its amazing. it uses a totally difffent inner material then most helmet, they use this stuff called brock foam, instead of your typical polystyrene. check out their site. air and water can circulate through the foam so you don't sweat balls.

switch to a bern baker from a red white pro model helmet was the greatest decision ever

Ya I agree with what some of the other guys said, Bern Bakers are good helmets.  I have a Burton Mutiny right now, which is like the same design as the Baker, but I'd say that the Baker is better and I'm definitely gonna pick one up sometime.

except the baker isnt a real helmet. i've had one for a couple years and been concussed twice. splash the cash and get a real helmet.

you can get concussed easy with a helmet. its just a little harder with one. helmets dont prevent concusions they protect you from smashing your head open on rocks and hard snow, you can still get head injurys.

You shouldn't get a concussion wearing a decent helmet. It is there to stop you getting one not just to stop you getting cuts. So unless you had a massive crash you probably didn't have a concussion, you just think you did.
Anyway go for the RED trace its awesome.
