Wearing snapbacks under hats

this is not a rant. just a question.

the one time i have tried doing this i was in pain the entire day untill i just decided fuck it im taking the snapback off. i had a problem with the button on top of the hat. when not wearing a helmet the button is 100% unnoticible but when i had a helmet over it it was being slammed into the same spot on my head every time i hit a jump or rail or even mogul.

my question is: do people just deal with the pain when riding because its looks fresh?(something i will never understand or do) or is there a way to remove the button or make it not hurt?

A question about style over comfort? Comfort wins... it must not bother them

probably get a bigger helmet/take out liner on helmet to make room/just cut the button off

Or try wearing a 5 panel under your helmet.

You could probably easily take out the button as well, if you don't plan on wearing it off the hill.

i had my liner out already and it is a hat i wear outside of skiing so i will not wear it under my helmet any more. that being said the 5 panels i have seen are expensive as a high end prostitute the day after black friday. are there any cheap ones?

not that i dislike your random hate that makes zero sense. but what do you mean by this? are you saying i look like a dumb fuck while wearing a hat under my helmet or not. if you think i do without a hat under my helmet then you may have been dropped as a baby as that is how a helmet is supposed to be worn and how a solid 95% of the ski community wears there helmet. if visa versa then you are also wrong as sometimes it looks pretty fresh. it all is relative to what the rider feels comfortable wearing and the style of the rider over all.

so congrats to you being one of the many over opinionated dumbasses who exist to ruin peoples threads by making an honest question negative

and yep i can take a joke, but random douchebaggery pisses me off for some reason

When it's spring skiing and really sunny I could understand why people put a hat under their helmet, but for me it just doesn't feel comfortable at all.

I don't usually wear snapbacks under hats... I don't think anybody does.

helmets though... wear a balaclava under or wear a five panel hat.

The fact that I got that much of a rise out of you makes me happy.

Also, I have no idea what you are staying

But I am sure you look like a retard park rat anyway, so congrats :)

Snapbacks under hats? I'm pretty dumb so I may be wrong but isn't that just a hat under another hat?

Do most people rock the hat under the helmet look for the sake of functionality or style? It seems mostly about style. Not trying to knock the look because I think it can look dope, just curious.

I only rock a hat underneath on the sunny spring days, but it has a foam front and a pretty low profile button so it's totally fine and i dont notice it. I love having the brim for spring skiing.

I wear a hat under my helmet in the spring only, and only when I'm not using goggles. The button doesn't get pushed into my head. I do it when it's too worm to wear a beanie.

Take off the button, it can compromise the safety of the helmet, seeing as if you smack your head just right, the force won't be distributed as well seeing as that little hard point will transmit a lot of energy to your head.

I mean, sure it will most likely not make a difference in most slams, but if you are going to wear a helmet you might as well do it right.

I'm not too sure about wearing snap backs under hats, but if you are looking for snap backs, this is a good deal!

I wear a buff, my flatbrim with cool writing under the brim, and my helmet. If it's snowing or really cold I put a beanie under my helmet. Goggles always between the hat and helmet. The button never gives me a problem

I noticed. I wondered if kids were actually that dumb. I realized after reading the first few posts you meant helmets, though, so my planned hate post lost its relevancy.

Usually just wear a snapback but if I toss the helmet on I don't notice it at all.

Figure out where you want the hat to sit in the helmet and carve a little indent for the button to go in? I don't know if that will affect the integrity of the helmet or not though.
