Scott Scream is really nice. so clean looking and perfect for applying stickers. I don't really know what the difference between the scream and to Tom Wallisch signature Scream is, but check them out!

Go try a load on. Helmets are like boots athey only work well if thy fit you. So even if people like them here they may not work well for you.

If you don't have a load of options around you try and find skate or bike shops and try options on from the same brands which sell ski helmets.

Poc receptor bug helmet works wonders. I had mine for only one season. It's only $130 unless you can find one online at a lower price point, maybe Evo, but try one on at your local store. It's a bit bulky but it's very protective unlike Bern and Smith helmets.

This the lowest price point I could find.
