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 :-)

Helmets in Chamonix

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hello All,

I've been looking to get a new helmet and have got some good advice on here, but there is limited helmets to try in Dublin. I am heading to Chamonix in a couple of weeks and thought i would see if I could find the right one there. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a shop with a good selection of helmets in Chamonix?

Thanks

there is an entire POC shop if you like expensive brightly coloured things

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

Brightly coloured things I like, not so much the expensive part!

Dublinfella, I am sure you'll find what you want in Chamonix, but if you have a car you could try the Quechua shop near Passy which may do some cheaper offerings. I'll try and post a link.

PS. Anyone know how to rename a link?.

Dublinfella, If you're driing out, Vieux Campeur in Sallanches or Quechua in Domancy might be more cost effective.

Hello all,

thanks for getting back so quickly, we will have a car, but I'll only have Saturday evening as we fly in late on Friday and will then be legging it back for Sunday night's flight. If i get a chance I'll have a look down mountain, but reckon I'll most likely just be in the town itself.

Dublinfella, surely Snow+Rock in Dublin have a good selection?

Dublinfella, Between Snow & Rock, Great Outdoors and 53 Degrees. I dont think you will find a much wider selection in Chamonix other than the specialist stuff like POC/Shred lids.

Snow and Rock have a reasonable selection but Great Outdoors and 53 are very limited. I've been told to look at POC and K2, also was recommended Carerra - so trying to get as wide a choice due to strange head/neck shape!

You need to put [url= then the url here] then write some text then close the tags with [/url]

Yeah, have seen they aint cheap alright, but at the same time, worth it if the fecker actually fits and stops me from overheating. Where in Dublin are you Fattes?

 You know it makes sense.

Good shops for helmets in Chamonix:

POC
Zero G
Legend CHX
Freshtracks (new K2 proshop, used to be called Otovalo)
Snell Sports

There's loads around, you shouldn't have much trouble. Also: there's a small Quechua shop opening on Av Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix this winter, so no need to go down to Passy to score sketchy jackets Smile
