I started freesking last year. i always wore a helmet and goggle .
I think thats its mor stylish when youre wearing beanies under your helmet.
Now I dont know what i have to do. which helmet size i need, do you use earpads inside and can i use a long beanie or do i have to wear a shorter one.
Im going to buy the giro shiv II matt black.

Thanks in advance .
And sorry id my english is too bad (:

Site discussion is kind of misleading, I understand. This forum is for site improvements, gripes, etc. You should have this moved to Ski Gabber.

You need a helmet size that fits the size of your head, plus a beanie. A shorter, tight fitting beanie works better in my opinion. Ear pads are kinda overkill, since you're already wearing a beanie.

Usually people rip out all the extra ear paddings and such when they wear a beanie under a helmet. Also you want to wear a short one. If you are planning on doing a beanie under the helmet, wear one when you try the helmet on.

Giro Shiv is a pretty cool helmet, I have one.

i personally used the same size helmet that fits my head but ripped out all of the interior padding stuff to make room for the beanie. I figure the beanie at least makes up for some of the padding

1. Put beanie on head
2. Place helmet over top
3. Stick you junk in the box

Something very important to think about if you're going to do this- make sure the helmet fits snugly with the beanie on your head. make sure that the beanie doesn't allow the helmet to slide around on your head- do not buy a larger sized helmet just so you can fit a beanie underneath it- speaking from experience, spending months in the hospital and brain injury rehab because your helmet was improperly fitted or couldn't protect you adequately due to the way you were wearing it is not worth the 3 extra steeze points you get from rocking the helmet beanie combo all thuglike. get a ballerclava or something thin and wear it under a helmet that fits



also, sidenote, get a helmet that meets industry standards, not a hardhat. the hardhats look sick, and they're better than nothing, but the amount of money you save on the helmet is nowhere near the amount of money you'll pay for say... an airlift.

buy a helmet where the ear things will come off.

sometimes they're not suppose to.

About to say this. I have no idea how you're going to cope with everyday problems when you get older if you can't figure out something so simple by yourself...

are you seriously asking why arent people being assholes to him? really?

I recommend getting any one of these eastern collective the baller beanies. such a legit hat and fits perfectly underneath my poc lobe helmet.

This. It really bugs me when kids wear baggy beanies and you see it all bunched up hanging out the back of the helmet

Precisely. I snagged a hat in an Oakley store a couple years ago and it fits my head well, thus a great fit under the helmet. Don't go with the saggy type or ones that have that little pompom on the end

If you're only doing it because it looks better, is it really worth it? And it's pretty easy. Buy a helmet that's a little to big.

not the best advice. a helmet that is too big is not going to do its job correctly- Your brain will receive more force from an impact that is improperly dampened. buy a helmet that fits your damn head.

Pretty much everything has been said, but try out a lot of different hats. Also make sure the helmet isnt too loose because that gets really annoying.
