Do you guys ski with or without a helmet?
For those who ski with one, what helmet model do you use?

Unless you're candide thovex you should probs wear a bucket. Love the smith vantage ones. Pricey, but comfy and they don't look to bad either

If you're real, the Wu-Tang Bern Helmet is pretty crispy. But if for some reason you don't like good rap, then get another one.

Like a lot of other people here I've got a Smith Maze that I really like, fits well, affordable and not too heavy. I picked up a Bern Rollins on super sale last year that I really like as well, comfy and I like the open/closable vents up top it's kinda gimmicky but actually works.

The referenced post has been removed.

I can't think of something more lame than having the quote "I love bad bitches thats my fucking problem" as your signature.

Just got a new Smith Maze last week. Did this to my old one in April. Knocked myself out but could have been a lot worse without it. Definitely recommend them.

You do realize that there are such things as sizes in helmets right?

Or wear a hat under your helmet, it ain't no big deal.

I have a smit holt. I don't like helmets with the fitting system where you have to add pads. I liked my old helmets that had the little wheel that would custom fit to your head. Since the holt didn't even come with any fit pads, the helmet isn't fully secure to me head without a goggle strap underneath. I will probably invest in a new helmet once I get a job. I don't hit anything big or take many risks so I am probably fine for now.

Right now I'm using a smith holt, pretty much a cheaper version of the maze. Both great helmets.

Currently running a Smith Variant Brim. I wear a beanie underneath, and they sit real flush with my Oakley Canopys. Also the venting on the Variant Brim works like a dream and barely ever fog up. Helmet does seem to be on the heavier side, but I can't really tell with my GoPro mounted up almost 24/7.

S.J.Wpicked up a new Giro Combyn. I was originally leaning towards POC receptor bug but when I put it on my head it just looked and felt weird. anyone else have hte same issues?


Yup. I had that exact same problem with poc helmets, so I went with a smith maze instead super comfy.
