Is the K2 Rant helmet a women's helmet?  I'm trying to find it but a lot of the result's say "women's".  Anyone know what's up with that?

No.  Come on.  Look at the K2 website.  They have two women's specific helmets and post in gear talk next time.  This didn't even end up in Ski Gabber.  Get your act together.

Why not just look at the K2 website and figure it out faster than waiting for NS to reply?

Speaking of rants, end of my rant.

1. The K2 website said nothing about it being a men's or women's helmet.  The picture that goes with it is of a girl, but I figured since it wasn't women's specific it would have to be men's.  But then I looked it up and found 10 "women's" hits for every "men's" hit, which confused me.

2. I just looked a little harder and found the gear talk section.  Sorry about that.

3. Looking at the K2 website didn't entirely answer my question, I was a bit confused, so I decided to throw it out there because I know the people on NS kick ass and that I would get a reply in three seconds. 

So I mean, hope that answers all those questions/comments.

Thanks man.  Sorry to be a little bit of a dick.  I was hoping you would see that the other two said women's specific and realize that the rant did not, therefore, not being a women's specific helmet.  Glad you know about gear talk now.  haha.  The kid wearing the rant on K2 is actually a guy with long hair if I'm not mistaken.  I might be wrong about that though.  Hope you found all the info you needed.  Thanks man.

Nah it's cool, don't worry about it.  I found everything I needed, probably going to get the rant from an ebay store for like 40 bucks.  Thanks again for the help.
Is that kid really a guy?

A medium Rant should be at my doorstep on June 2.  I'm stoked, it's a sick looking helmet and K2 fits my head well.  I think he is a guy hahaha.  No problem, always like helping.

Okay last question.  We've established that the Rant is a guy's helmet, no doubt about that.  But then look at this:

There's an option for the Rant and the Rant--Women's.  What the hell is that about?

It's cool, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.  I tried emailing K2 even though I can't find their email address (I guessed) so we'll see how that goes

Chances are it did not fit their head correctly, even if it was the right size.
