So Ive been wearing this k2 helmet with the ear pads and all that stuff specifically made for snow.

But ive gotten tired with its bulkiness and found a great deal on a protec helmet.

Only thing is its a skate helmet.....soooo

I kno alot of you park dudes wear skate helmets. WHAT is the best way to wear them.? Do you wear the goggle strap on the inside of the helmet?? seems like it may get annoying being under there with the plastic tighteners.

how do your protec (or protec similar) helmet work for you.

you get used to it really fast and it keeps your head warm. if you don't like to wear a full beanie then wear like uni threads headband.

I wear a super thin bandana, it keeps me warm and takes up no room in the helmet.

dont mean to be a smart ass but check this out
look at the classic snow and the classic (dark green second row and lime green second row)
looks to be the exact same helmet, and on the snow one says it can be used for skate snow and bike, so i dont think the theory about specifically designed helmets apply
