 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I will be purchasing a helmet in Bourg at the EOSB. Anyone got any recommendations ? Any that are particularly good / bad ? Let me know your thoughts.

There is already at least one thread on this, with links to review sites. The Giro 9.9 came out well, I think, but the consensus is that you need to try several to see which fit well. Apparently, if you wear an ill fitting helmet, you might as well just beat your head against a convenient rock on day one of your hol, as death will surely result (I may have overstated things a bit).

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

My other half had an ill fitting helmet for horse riding and ended up in hospital with really severe headaches.
Tony Lane, my question is - should it be tight - should it be a bit slack - etc etc etc etc etc

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Like a motorcycle helmet it should be close fitting with no tight spots which will be extremely painful after a very short time - generally just after you've parted with your cash and have headed out on the slopes. The Phil Urge range of helmets should be considered.

Paul Mason, Snug (bit like a ski sock on your foot) is the best description for a new helmet . . . it will compact slightly with use. And whatever you do, get one with a removable, washable liner. Helmets make you sweat.
Some people will wear a lightweight beanie under a loose helmet for the same reason.
