Searchbar for your own protection.....

but serious now, ive got a rossignol b-squad ( style like salomon patrol, with visors) its super light and saved my head a lot of times..... and i find it one of the finest looking helmets out there...

Smith and Giro make really nice helmets. I've heard that POC ones are nice too.

I like the RED mutiny, I've had one for a few seasons and just got a new one because the old one was beat up.

well depends on what ur gonna do, if ur gonna be chargin big lines then a full face may be in order for you, if not POC receptor bug end story, its expensive but its multi-impact and has the best protection available, saved my ass multiple times

the giro shiv is by far teh best helmate out there for a freestyle skier, its light as fuck, looks good and the velcro is on the pads not on the inside of the helmate so if you wear a hat under the velcro wont rip it up.


best helmate ever
