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 :-)

I also regularly sport sunnies with a helmet and I don't even posses a 'cool' helmet. Though a purchase of one is currently on the 'must get one day, but can't justify at the moment while I've got one that fits' list.

I like the one Dogtag man is wearing actually - I bet that's a pricey number though

I used to wear metal-framed sunglasses. After a collision -> black eye, I now wear plastic sunglasses. No problem.

My mother once (many years ago came off a small moped wearing an open face helmet and specs with plastic arms and metal screw - impact with road caused glasses to snap at joint with arm because the helmet stopped the arms being pushed completely off of her head - the arm then pushed in under her eyebrow and re-emerged just above it. Even now 10+ years on the eyebrow is slightly misaligned. She doubted the injury would have happened with a full face helmet (somewhat overkill on a Ladies Suzuki Love moped). mark_s, how far do we go with this. No option, but to wear a helmet on a M.bike. Should it be that if you wear sunnies you need a full face ski helmet Laughing Laughing Twisted Evil

Well, I think that people who cover up their entire faces when the sun's shining look pretty daft. But each to his own. (Actually, it's the helmet that makes me look like a gimp, or more accurately, like a mobile mushroom - I hate the damn thing. But I've decided I should wear one, so that's that.)

How is that snowblade suspended in mid air?? never seen anyone clip one to themselves! Also you shouldn't wear sunglasses with a helmet, because you will look like a tool

EDIT: Have to add, I do wear sunglasses with my helmet, and yes, I look like a tool

Spent 2 weeks skiing in glorious spring sunshine on the slopes last season, would have looked very “uncool” in goggles, definite overkill; as for accidents wearing sunnies, sounds like that old story “and if they’d been wearing a seat belt...they would have died...” which was often quoted by the die-hard anti-seat belt brigade! wink

I can’t say I've seen many people wearing goggles in bright sunshine, with or without a helmet, as most people buy only one pair (usually for flat or dull light), if they aren’t reactolite, or have interchangeable lenses, they certainly won’t be protecting the eyes against glare! Shocked

mark_s, isn't a bit strange that peeps put on a helmet to save their heads getting bashed in, the put tiny slithers of metal with glass stuck to it over their eyes? seems a bit like 'my head will be ok but I am happy to rigidly fix things under the helmet and over my eyes that may gouge them out when I fall or face plant Laughing

so wearing a helmet with goggles is cool, wearing sunglasses with a helmet is definately uncool? I still dont get why that is... a few have said cause they are uncomfortable or perhaps dangerous but does that make it uncool? Usually people who are safety concious or worried about comfort are labelled uncool...

do motorcyclists wear googles with helmets or goggles?

sharon1953, the lens which came with my Adidas goggles works fine for pretty much any conditions (well, it worked fine at the EoSB Shocked). It may not be 'optimised' to all conditions, but I could ski fine (and not be blinded) regardless, so it's all good to me Smile

arv, cool photos but only wanna be "free riders" wear full face helmets (with stickers festooned everywhere) skiing, you usually see these gapers typically coming off red run chair lifts on seths with their beefy touring bindings talking about preparing to "huck" some cliffs as they cruise off barely able to parallel ski Laughing NehNeh Razz

skimottaret, I know exactly who you mean Laughing Good skiers wear full face helmets too.. Seth Morrison probably the most famous. Does CR wear one since his accident? I think so...

It does annoy me folks with Dukes that won't tour and full faces that won't ski trees/"huck".
