I saw this kickstarter on ANTI- ORDINARY Beanie helmets. They look kind of cool.. Except for the Jerry Ass Chinstrap. I ski with a helmet to keep all of my brain cells together and have always wanted to ski with a beanie but if I did I wouldn't be going off anything big cause u know.. I want to live. But these Beanies are actually classified as the same protection as a helmet which is kind of dope. If they made cool colors or just black that would be dope, but I dont think it is wearable as a regular Beanie plus anyone who buys that HAS to take off the chinstrap, I mean come on.. a Beanie with a chinstrap? So I would buy one if it were black and didnt have a big ass logo on it and I would take the chinstrap off, not sure how safe it would be after it but who knows. What do y'all think?

Very skeptical, well see if it meets certification requirements. The way their website is worded it hasnt actually been approved.

"we will be testing and certifying the helmet to the global alpine helmet standards of EN1077 and ASTM F2040. "

Not sure if these standards include MIPS, but to me and lots of other people that is the new baseline.
Cool idea, but until I see it actually perform and actually get certified, its a no from me.

There's now way this looks good in person and/or there is no way this would actually protect you. If I stretched a beanie over my Maze MIPs it would look soooo stupid and huge. Keep in mind this is one of, if not, the the smallest helmets on the market. Are people really that ashamed of wearing a helmet that they want to wear some douchcap like this?

Bump: 2 years later they're still in a preorder expecting to release in 2021. And they look uglier than all hell now.

Trying to make a hat as protective as a helmet is stupid. Making like a padded hat that is in between a regular hat and a full helmet i think has potential tho. The hat i wear skiing is like 2 inches thick of solid wool. Its not a helmet but its def better than a normal hat.

This just looks like you mashed a beanie over a helmet with some intention that it might be "cooler". No one thinks a helemt isn't cool in 2021. Anyone who doesn't is a tool.

The real question is, do you put your goggles under or over the beanie?

You can only pick one to wear one of these or a full face chrome Ruroc? The choice is yours choose wisely.
