 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello All,
I thought I would see if I could delve into some of your experience and knowledge with regard to a helmet problem I am having. Currently I use a Giro 9 and wish t0 change it. I am looking for some suggestions for a light/best ventilated helmet as possible (that is the easy part.) The hard part though, is that due to playing in the front row for many years, I have a serious lack of neck. This is a problem as the back of my current helmet hits the back of my neck whenever I have raise my head eg in a shuss or when looking up thus leading to be loosing visability and leading to me snotting myself, quite impressively, on a number of occasions.
So are there any other short necked creatures who have suggestions for me, or should I just go and hang our with Quasimodo?
Cheers

As I'm sure most people will agree, helmet fit is a very personal thing. I tried a shedload on at the snow show last year before I bought my POC Skull Light. Ventilation is really important for me, I generate enough heat while boarding to make raclette. In my old lid I could quite literally wring the sweat out of it, after a few runs i'd be steaming. The POC has sorted that right out - cost a few bob but don't think i'll look elsewhere next time i'm in the market for a new helmet.
