Why We Like The K2 Route Helmet

Checking in at just 11oz, K2's Route Helmet is the lightest snow helmet on the market. It takes its cues from climbing helmets—just check out the ventilation system. The polycarbonate shell and EPS foam liner are fully certified for skiing, snowboarding, and even biking protection. The earpads are removable, as are the fully adjustable headlamp and goggle clips, making for a fully customizable package whether we're in the resort or the backcountry.

Light but ear pads totally delaminated

Familiarity:
I've used it several times
Size Bought:
L/XL
Height:

I bought this helmet primarily because it was light weight and large enough to fit my pumpkin-sized head. It fits well but during the second season of its use the ear pads started delaminating badly and then totally failed and fell off. Seems the glue holding the two halves of the pads together as well as to the mounting bracket dried out and totally failed (see pics below). I contacted warranty@backcountry.com but they said the K2 warranty on helmets is only for one year so I’m out of luck. Buyers beware!
