So iv had a burton audio hi fi for a couple of years now and it is completely battered. Its time for me to get a new one. I would like to get a helmet that i put back into the ski industry, that is comfy, looks good and is a good quality and will last.
Any Ideas??

Thanks i was thinking about the Rambler from Sweet protection cause iv heard they make a really good helmet? http://www.sweetprotection.com/snow/#/hardware/helmets_snow/rambler-te/
The smith holt audio looks like a good helmet and is good cause it has the built in speakers?
Never really thought about a POC helmet till i saw them in JO video blog but dont really no much about them.
The bern helmets im not really feeling.
The giro Shiv looks pretty nice. http://www.giro.com/site/#/product/snow/audio/shiv/

^^Thanks for that help ++K

If anyone has any person experience or knows anything about any of these helmets input would be much appriciated. Or if there is a helmet that you think is good please let me know as well.

Hey im looking for a new helmet as well. The K2 Rant looks pretty sick to me. Its made so that it can fit over your beanie and goggles. Check it out.

Have been using Poc helmets for two years now and strongly recommend them, first synapsis xp until I overshot a jump (a peak doesn't really help with faceplanting) and second with Receptor, which is more park specific. Great fit (they can come up big though), option to remove insert to open vents, removable foam, fits goggle reasonably well and doesn't feel like it is going to crack after minor impacts. It fits like a glove.

Giro G10, I feel so much safer in it than my old lid.
