 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
So I'm struggling to find a helmet that fits. Most helmets the front sits too low on my forehead pushing my goggles down against my nose and restricting breathing. It was manageable though not comfortable last season.
I need decent venting otherwise it gets rather too sweaty.
I am also unwilling to spend more than about £50.
I've tried Tog 24, Giro Nine, White Rock, and Trespass.
The Trespass is the only one that does the job, but I'm not sure about goggle gap.
I go skiing in Europe usually in mid February, so it's not that cold.
So is this too much of a gap?

@rossyl, that sounds uncomfortable. Have you tried kids/youth helmets. The one in the picture looks fine 'gap' wise - the most important thing is does it fit well on your nut?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks.
My helmet size is probably about a 58cm, so adult ones fit. The Trespass helmet in the photo fits really well. I was only concerned about the gap.

@rossyl, too much for what? Is it comfortable?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@rossyl, that's not a huge gap. Just don't forget to get creative with the suncream

@rossyl, My Giro Seam has height/tilt adjustment to alter the gap with goggles. I've seen similar in other makes too.

@rossyl, Get a thin balaclava in case of any really cold days and the gaps is irrelevant?

Good to hear.
I was concerned I'd be lambasted for the size of the gap. Instead it seems to be quite acceptable.
I think the adjustable tilt helmets would take me above the £50 I'm willing to spend.
The helmet is very comfortable and fits well.

Just did the 10 year old child reaction test. Sorry to say he's cracked a rib laughing. So yes, it is ridiculous; but then ridicule never killed anyone... although a bad case of gaperburn might.

@rossyl, rational adults shouldn't care what other people's children think of them. Man up and just wear the helmet.

I think I'd be disappointed at any 10 year old not laughing at an adult wearing a ski helmet and goggles at home while taking a selfie, so the premise alone of the photo is funny enough.
If I wasn't willing to put up with 10 year olds laughing at me, I would not ski at all. The average 10 year old is probably considerably more accomplished at skiing.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
