OVO HELMETS?

Anybody tried the OVO Titan or Bomber helmets? I'm looking for a light-weight helmet that isn't bulky and looks decent - There are no dealers where I live, so I will have to buy over the Net without trying them on. If you have either of these helmets, let me know what you think of 'em.

The bomber ones are pretty sick, but not that light. I would suggest a Giro 9 if you want a really light helmet.

Thanks for the suggestions - I'm gonna go with the OVO bomber because it's retro and different.

I bought the Titan because it was different. Really good goggle retention system too, however my Oakley Wisdoms don't fit well. I wanted to get the bomber but they were always sold out. Good luck.



Wear a freekin helmet.

What the hell are you doing???? Giro is definatly the best you can get!! Not only do they make kick ass ski helmets they make wicked bike helmets as well. I own a nine, a flint, a mad max and a hammerhead(which is no longer...bad fall) and have never had any problems!!! The nine is light, comfortable and cool!, who the hell cares if you look like eveyone else! At least you will be comfortable!! I even use my nine when i do some urban riding on my bike!!

Giro nine's are the shit. Everything works awsome. They are light, and you can where it when it's really cold and spring time warm. Giro makes a great lid. They have been in the biz a long time and know what to do. A nice lid is cheaper then a trip to the hospital anyday

OVO's are a NO GO. The Giro Nine.9 and the Fuse are two sweet helmets. Really protective as well as light, keep you warm or cool you down whichever you want, awesome helmets for sure.

The ovo keeps me warm and safe and it's comfortable. What else is the problem? So what if they don't look 'cool' enough for you guys? I'm not a skier because I want to be cool, I'm a skier because I love the sport. I think you guys need to reorganize your priorities.
