K2 Crossfire Helmet

Protect your head with the durable, lightweight K2 Crossfire Helmet, which features adjustable venting and headphone compatibility. K2 makes this helmet with a polycarbonate shell over lightweight EPS foam, so it's rugged, yet tips the scales at less than a typical hard shell. Its Active Matrix ventilation has sliders to increase air flow on hotter days or seal up in blower pow. The Crossfire's new K2Dialed fit system allows one-handed, glove-friendly adjustments, even mid-run. The Crossfire comes equipped with K2's Baseline Audio speakers; slip the speakers in and out of ear pad pockets, and choose whether to be wired or not.

Bottom Line: Your noggin wants protection ... and music.

Nice but cold ears

By:
January 8, 2009

The helmet is pretty lightweight/comfortable overall and the venting is easy to use when you're skiing, but the ear things have mesh inserts in them, which means that if you're not wearing anything on your ears, they're going to be really cold. Maybe this is intentional so you'll run out to buy the ear audio things for the helmet, but I've heard they don't work very well.
I'd say as long as you don't mind wearing a hat/liner/something under the helmet in cold weather its a nice helmet, although I'd suggest waiting to get it on sale at backcountry outlet like I did rather than paying full price (if I'd paid full price I think it would have been a 2 star review).

It doesn't come with speakers

By:

The product description may say it comes equipped w/ speakers but it doesn't. You have to buy the speakers separately for another $80 or something.

Otherwise seems like a decent helmet, but I decided I don't love it - looks kinda wide. The dial adjustment on the back is not bad. You can easily make it more or less snug while its on your head.

I might have given it more stars if I actually used it.

Great Helmet

By:
January 12, 2009

Purchased K2 Crossfire Helmet at the beginning of the year. Adjustable sizing is great for all of us with in between sized heads.......Nice style.......Backcountry was super fast with the shipping.
Extremely pleased with this purchase. Will continue to use Backcountry.com for all of my gear.
