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 :-)

Displaying a Union Jack on your ski helmet

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
was bored with the look of my bare carbon Grimner so had a very nice tattered flag design made for it.
My wife has pointed out this may cause me a lift queue issue and possibly her and my friends skiing with us ?

Does she have a point ? And no I didn't vote for the B word , as we have both worked in Europe alot.

We often ski in Utah alot and I wouldn't have even worried about it there but France?? ( I mean surely fine in Val D Isere)

Dunno. In Utah they gave me an "Alta Snowboard Team" sticker, which I like a lot.

Years ago I used to ride with a UK flag because there were no other UK people anywhere around.
At this point I would not do it because people may think I'm a Trump type person, and I'm not remotely proud of the UK at the moment.

It's otherwise a good design.

@philwig I have been skiing Utah every Christmas since Christmas 04 staying in the Little America for between 2 and 3 weeks each year.
This Christmas after lasts $1.20 to the £ means we are not coming ( reality is a job change actually means no holiday)

Glad to know people don't think it's an issue

It’s more likely to be a risk in the UK, where anything vaguely patriotic seems to get you branded racist as it might offend someone not born here rolling eyes

Nice helmet by the way, unfortunately Sweet Protection doesn’t make that helmet in a large enough size for me.

No need for flags. Become a citizen of the world. Nationalism is on the nose at the moment.

I shifted to USD just before this crazy stuff really kicked in. The rest of the world didn't see the seriousness of the risk quite quickly enough, fortunately for me.

Strange that someone would put their national flag on their ski helmet and then be too ashamed to wear it.

But I wouldn't worry, the union flag, especially slightly faded, has been a popular design in France for a few years now. I've seen the design in French hypermarkets on everything from body boards to school bags.

I hadn't felt it was an issue and was quite proud of the look as it's on both sides .

It was my wife and another ski buddy who said they were inclined not to stand with me in the lift queue.

Maybe I have missed something more obvious these females are telling me Embarassed

@harvsurrey, Very Happy As this thread shows, you'd be far more likely to receive a hard time for displaying a Union flag at the Islington Waitrose than from the French in a lift queue.

Nice design. Nothing to be ashamed of. Sadly, likely to generate sympathy as much as anything else these days. I've never understood mad patriotism - your nationality is an accident of birth and not an achievement.
