I am thinking about running my MTB DH helmet when skiing especially when I'm getting sendy XD.
How do you guys find it? Does it get annoying after a while?

its only cool if you are seth morrison in AK circa 2002 and you are hucking 70 foot backies off cliffs. and tbh it's still kind of a wack look even then

You wear full face helmets on bikes because rocks will fuck up your face if you eat shit. Snow doesn’t destroy your face the same way that a rock does

What about a knee to the face on a cliff drop?

Smashing your face on a frozen mogul or kneeing yourself in the jaw isn't very fun though.
Honestly surprised full face helmets aren't more of a thing in skiing

I found out why fullface helmets were a thing when sending it on jetskis, 2 teeth stuck in the alu boom, had to be pulled out.

Mouth guard without full face (and a mips helmet) will probably do ya better, especially for concussions.

I´ve been wearing one for two years now with a neckbrace, broke my neck freeriding, somehow managed to survive it and get out of the paralysis. Since the surgery my neck movement is limited by 50% compared to you guys, so this new helmet/brace combo is a must for me, but i love it. I have a TOBE Helmet, i wear it without that visor thing, it looks dope and it doesn´t get cold or too warm. If you decide to wear one, prepare to get a lot of looks haha
