If you're considering getting a bike helmet for skiing, what is the helmet really protecting honestly

Sounds like you've already taken a few hits to the head. But seriously, a bike helmet is designed for the specific needs of that sport and will not offer the same performance when used skiing. I'd go into a shop to properly try on a few different helmets to find which one fits you the best. Or else, when you rock your dome you'll regret cheaping out.

you mean getting the macon 2.0 just with instead the bike headliner instead of the snow ear pads? if that’s what you mean then yes it’s a good investment. make sure you run a beanie or a hood underneath just for some more protection but it definitely looks way better and less obtrusive without the earmuffs
