New Park Helmet?

I was looking to purchase a new helmet that looks good as I will be skiing inside of the park. I was looking at the Smith Holt and thought it looked pretty good. I like being able to take off ear covers but they are also nice for cold days. Does anyone have any recommendations - helmets that are plain and don't have a wierd shape. Thanks!

Get the Holt Park, its smaller than the Holt and looks so much better imo.

I just bought one on amazon for 60 bucks, comes without ear pads but has pads in the helmet that are super easy to take out and I say I have a bigger head so the xl with a beanie and goggles fit perfectly on me.

I just got the holt. I really like it. Kinda fits small on the back of your head(depending if your head is huge). The giro covers your head a tiny bit more though. Its all personal preference - different shape/product for different company. My advise is bring your goggles in when you buy it and try it on, if you wear binnies, bring that in too.

Np its always smart to protect your noggin. Two kids from my school died in the past 2 weeks from not wearin helmets. It sucks when people die young.

It really doesn't matter, as long as you have a helmet, and not a hard hat (sandbox) I suggest bern and smith helmets.
