I have a white one right now but theres like 100 stickers on it so it looks really gay. im thinking of getting a black one but not sure which one. If you find any sick one leave a link in the comments please.

White helmets can be sick but they show smudges more and can get stains. I would go with the black helmet

i like black. doesnt show scuffs, and gopro mounts are less visible when your not using your camera.

i picked this helmet up middle of the season this year and its the best helmet i have had or even tried on.

if you dont like wearing earpads, i like me and most of NS, these ones pop right out and you dont even have to swap the liner. chinstraps nice and fuzzy as well. super comfy.

I prefer black over white. It looks cleaner and overall it looks much better.

i completely disagree. you want some contrast on there. If you have dark stuff, white. light stuff, dark.
It will pop more this way.

I have a white smith holt with 2 seasons on it. Shit is kinda tan now, I never try to keep it clean.

Looks great anyways, if you bitch about smudges on your helmet you shouldn't be skiing.

If you politely ask a mod, you should be able to find someone to move this thread over there for you so you don't need to make another thread for the same thing.
