I really want to try using a helmet this season and see if I like it, but I can’t seem to find anything that looks good that doesn’t cost a hundred bucks. Any ideas for a broke ass skier that doesn’t want to wear a salad bowl

Giro Ledge, Smith Maze, Sandbox Legend, K2 Phase Pro, Oakley Mod 1. These are all the basic, “skateboard style,” lids that are goggles-under friendly and don’t look like the Smith Vantage.

Smith Maze or the Smith Scout are both pretty good options. Also dont worry about dropping a hundo on a helmet… this its protecting your head so dont be afraid to spend alittle extra so you get some good protection.

Don’t skimp on a helmet.

I got a Pret Cynic from a few years back and it is great. The ear muffs came out super easy and it fits well with goggles under. They changed it a bit this year so idk what the new ones are like but I can imagine not to different
