 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there all
Just joined the forum following my first ski trip. Just been to Les Deux Alpes for a week and loved it! Been googling and seems there a fount of knowledge in these pages so hoped I might tap into it...
Having had a few hairy moments (hence my user name!) I was thinking of buying a helmet and wondered if anyone had any recommendations. There's a fancy Salomon one on ebay at the moment - http://x.co/S9Bt - with bluetooth headphones which I thought sounded quite cool and at a potentially good price - anyone have any experience with one of these?
Thanks
Terry

Fit is important so you need to try one on and you don't know if an ebay one has taken a bash or not so be careful.

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

Get what fits your head best (i.e. try them on in a shop). Not so sure listening to music while skiing / boarding is such a good thing - I prefer to hear what's going on around me for safety reasons.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've got the Salomon Ranger, they're a good helmet- the air fit system works well. Don't know what the bluetooth one's like though. Like the idea of the extra warm ear pads!

Make sure it looks like it'll survive machine washing. Stinky helmets aren't nice.

Have to agree with tiffin that it is fit that is most important rather than "cool". Go to a shop that has lots of brands and try them all on. A medium in one brand is a very different size and shape to a medium in another brand.
I had my heart set on a particular helmet but after trying on all of the ones available at Bucks Boarding Centre in Milton Keynes (thanks for your patience guys) I bought a totally different helmet that just felt great when it was on my bonce.
