I ski in vt and I want to get a helmet for a park, but I don't want to use it only for park, but for all mountain/woods. I was going to buy the Smith Holy but I was wondering if a different Helmet, I have a helmet that is a little small but I'm not sure if I should spend the extra money on a good helmet or 40 on a Smith Holt. Any Suggestions???

The new Giro x Oakley collaboration is the must have helmet and goggle combo for the train-wreck of a description you just gave.

Labeling like that means literally nothing. A label of "park" is absolutely no guarantee that it will offer any more or less protection than another helmet labeled "all-mountain". You want to look at the helmet design, not what it's "meant" for.

I'd suggest a helmet that protects your head.

I'm no doctor but it should work for all types of terrain.

Don't fall. Don't hit anything. You won't need a helmet.

agree with what everones said, theyre pretty much all the same

this will be my next helmet though, seems like it could have a bit of an edge on other helmets in terms of protection.
