Hi all,

I am currently planning my skiing holidays in Les Trois Valleys in France and really excited!
I have all my equipment together so far but was thinking of buying a safety helmet since it seems to be safer.

. So needs to be on the cheap side but still good quality. Do you have any recommendations on which helmet I should go for? And experiences?
Cheers!

Smith Variant, Vantage or Maze. The maze is extremely lightweight but does not offer an adjustable fit system or adjustable venting. The Variant and Vantage are both extremely comfortable nice looking helmets.

What goggles do you have? You don't want to end up with a helmet that's not compatible with your goggles...


I have Smith Phenoms and they fit well with my Giro G10 helmet. I really like the helmet. So comfy and safe feeling. I've tried other helmets for the same price range and i don't feel like my head is as protected in others.
