i wear a bobble hat it's a rather nice blue and black reversible number that i've had since i was 7 (i'm now 28!)
The advantage of beer goggles is they don't wear off until the morning after, with a beer helmet surely its only sensible to take it off before? I bought my 1st helmet today and will get to test it out shortly

I like this thread.... I think it is the best helmet thread I have ever read!
I have a 24" long bright orange fleece bobble hat... with a nice blue bobble at the end. If I do wear it I prefer to put a large something in the middle of it so it sticks up 2 foot! Wally... moi???
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Slowphil - Surely the bobble precludes reversibility? I demand an explanation, involving science.
Yoda - Surely that's the ultimate compromise. Hit a tree and, though the tree will be inside the hat on contact, your head will be outside and therefore perfectly safe leaving the arboreal menace safely contained.
The Abominable snowHead, I think my looks are enhanced by my helmet, especially when worn with goggles and a face mask.
Anyway - with lids you get that "beautiful women takes lid off, shakes golden/auburn/strawberry blonde tresses out" moment.
And wooly-hats with side flaps are just for Dappy and toking-telemarkers.

And evidently you haven't quite got over it yet. I remember you posting about it last year, you said the bobble sat on your mantelpiece for a while, and I quote..."mocking you with its high weight to volume ratio".
I like the way you say "we" didn't use it though, it sounds like you had a committee and meetings about it and everything. Did somebody carry out a heavy bobble injury risk assessment?

At least I'm only ugly in a helmet, not ugly and a prat in a bobble hat
My skiing is soooo bad nobody notices my face anyway
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

It's been relegated to a plastic box in the wardrobe now.
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I'm waiting for the next installment in the paulio bobble story, it's gripping stuff!
stoatsbrother, I've never really thought helmet hair was a good look per se although...
I could be wrong.
So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

Deliaskis,
You know it makes sense.

I don't wear one but I do appreciate their existance... without them there would be less knob gags on the piste.

I luvs me a nice bobble. Anselm Baud is always in bobble hats in 70s photos of loopy couloir first descents, and that's good enough for me!
What you can't see in that photo is his mittens on bits of string.
being a committed bit of string user myself I'm not suggesting this is wrong, but nontheless, the point stands

A bobble hat was good enough for Ingemar Stenmark, so it's good enough for me.

I don't notice what skier's have got on their heads but if they've got those horrid pole straps wrapped over their hands I just want to vomit.

I found wolly hat rather silly.
Not that I found helmets any better. They're both look equally silly. Though both does the job of keep the head warm. And helmet has the edge on warmth, plus the slight added padding on the occasion when one's head gets too close to a tree branch.

I think it could be said that 'I pulled on the piste'
I actually look OK in most hats and helmets, I recall when I used to have to wear a hard hat on board ship I was one of the few that didn't complain. IIRC somewhere in my house is a great picture of me dressed in builders helmet and survival suit and I think I'm actually doing them justice!!
I'm impressed that people have actually pulled on the piste! I also know someone who pulled on a motorcycle rideout, resplendent in scutty insect-encrusted leathers! Amazing!

Megamum, IME most tall people look OK in hats. I look like a mushroom in every type of headgear (apart from a beanie, which makes me look as though I've just emerged from brain surgery) but can't say it worries me unduly.

If you pulled like that, he would probably be a fungi to be with.

pinhead, love telemarkers to bits - wish I could do it - just lots of those at JH seem to have a bobble hat and a beard.
