Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Should I get a green or a grey helmet

Following on from the sweaty head helmet thread I found.

I am down to two options... Any advice

This grey one http://www.snowandrock.com/atomic-mens-nomad-lf/atomic-helmet/ski-snowboard-outdoor-sports/fcp-product/63207?listing=true

or

This green one http://www.snowandrock.com/marker-mens-ampire-2block/marker-helmet/ski-snowboard-outdoor-sports/fcp-product/62834?listing=true

Both fit well. Or are there any other better ventilated ones out there in the same price range

As you are in Huddersfield have you not called at Robinhood watersports and checked out the sweet protection helmets they have with great price reductions? They are based in heckmondwaite.


On which to get has to be green, less need to keep stopping wink

Ooooo I like 1, 2 and 4. Current helmet is black and my theory is it absorbs heat and makes me sweat even more. The key factor is maximum ventilation. Green is a bonus.

Then green it is, you don't want a grey jacket.

Definitely grey. Not that keen on the shape with the peaked look, but that's a personal opinion. Otherwise, finitely grey. Don't they do it in charcoal or black or something nice?

I back the view of a trip to Robin Hood and a purchase of a Sweet helmet, on the basis they fit you, the trooper is a narrower fit than the Rooster or rambler

@smagsmith, Sorry to hear about your vehicular cooling malady.
I was just reading your video thread and one consideration when purchasing kit could be that, if you want feedback on video footage of your technique then get at least one brightly coloured bit of kit, be that helmet, jacket, sallys, sack, so you can be easier identified.
Just a thought from watching the vid. Also hog the limelight & then edit everyone else out Toofy Grin

I would prefer the Green one if I was going to buy a matching jacket anyway. But maybe consider what matches your googles best as well, unless they're black and match with everything Razz

I think from a safety aspect I'd personally go orange, everyone knows if you wear green you crash.

Cheers pal,
Been on the lookout for a new lid and picked up a Sweet Rambler for eighty sheets as a result of seeing your post.

It's Black though cos I like to pretend to be Darth Vader once I get a face mask on. Very Happy

Assuming no more car bills, I am leaning towards the green one, but am going to try and get to robinhood water sports tomorrow to take a look the sweet range.

@smagsmith, Good choice. Green seemed all wrong to me. Ski helmets should be white, black or grey. Although I have to admit I think white is probably the girly option, but then maybe you are a girl. In this virtual world nobody knows and nobody cares.

The idea of a green helmet turns me off slightly. Mind you a green helmet is less likely to get sweaty

AsterixTG is right. Red ones are best.
