What do you think is the best looking helmet? I am finally deciding to wear a helmet as its just not worth the risk of a serious injury.

Helmets, like goggles and boots need to be tried on. I originally loved the look of the POC receptor bug, but it just didn't fit my little head. So I went witha smith transport helmet. Not the best looking helmet but it's comfortable.

Most helmets these days look relatively good, such as the Smith maze, holt, POC receptor bug, Bern macon and the Giro combyon helmet. All these helmets look sick. Just pick the one you think looks steezy and try it on. Ensure you have your goggles withyou and if you wear a beanie or whatever, have that as well.

As said before choose one that fits well. For me I love the POC Receptor Bug, and it happens to fit me which is convenient. Favorite out of all the helmets I've ever owned by far

Make sure to try on whatever helmet you get. I had a POC receptor bug that I really liked. It took a couple big impacts, so I got another one online, and for some reason this one does not seem to fit very well. (They are the same size)

But on a serious note Smith Maze. I have one, it's pretty minimal (which is a good thing) but really comfy and extremely light.

The combyn is pretty G. The soft shell fits it nicely to any head and it's super safe.

my favorites in terms of looks are:
poc receptor bug
bern hard hat(white, grey, or black all the others are too colorful for me)
smith holt
sandbox classic ( in my opinion the best looking helmet out there)

Smith maze not very good just saying :3 but seriously I agree with what the guy said up there giro combyn is sick it looks good and with the new technology in it it's great I first got poc MIPS cause if I get another two concusions I can't ski ever again but the giro combyn is awesome cause you can get small numbs and impacts to ya my opinion. And I'm a noob so I don't know how to reply to replays on threads fml

Dude, just go to a website and start browsing, find some that you like and then get one of them.

There are a lot of helmets that look good these days.

The best looking one for me is one that's on sale, looks good, is in my size, and is on sale.

Ski helmets are for losers. Im just playing... Giro helmets look cool with the right gear or the k2 phase or the k2 rival

Haha i bet you're norwegian, så jeg skal skrive det på norsk.. jeg skal innrømme at hjelmene så bra ut for 2-3 år siden, men nå er de bare helt ødelagt og fylt med farger og sære detaljer, definitivt ikke hjelmene som ser best ut nå

I've got the Smith Maze too and it's sick. You can get it on levelninesports.com for cheap.
