 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, first post so please be gentle with me....
I will be going skiing in a few weeks for my 3rd time ever. As I constantly go on to the children about wearing thier helmets I thought I would do the sensible and right thing and invest in one for myself.
Having tried a few on - though not many as I cant seem to locate many places - I like the Cebe 'Ripper Freestyle'. I can get this for £50.
Would you advise buy this as the price is ok and I like the helmet or wait until I get there (Chamonix) and look then?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Mark.

THE ONLY ADVICE FOR HELMETS IS THIS
WHEN YOU FIND ONE THAT FITS REALLY WELL BUY IT THE PRICE DOESNT MATTER
but if you are asking whether that is expensive or cheap its about mid market price,.

Welcome to snowHeads markh300.
£50 seems pretty reasonable for a helmet. As plectrum says, if it's a good fit, go for it.
THe shops in Chamonix will doubtless have loads to choose from between them which is a plus. You might even save £5 or £10 but do you really want to spend time shopping when you could be sking?

Thanks for the quick replies.
I am happy with the 'Ripper' just not convinced I have checked out enough potential competition as there seems to be very few shops you can walk in and try on.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

markh300, if it fits well, it should be fine. About the only other point I can think of is the need to have vents that can be open or plugged.

markh300, Welcome to  ... there's been a few threads in the past about what a 'good fit' actually is , you might do a search for them. Basically not too tight but your forehead wrinkles when you try to move the helmet. There is also a good website on shapes etc which I'm sure someone will refer you too.

markh300, If you can try it on before buying & it's a good fit, then probably go for it. Think it's important that you try before you buy. As Admin say's, there will however be loads to choose from in the resort. Have a good trip.
