The hell with huge cliffs, wear it for skiing fast in the trees. Most cliffs you'll be jumping off have a big old pile of snow at the bottom--just don't smack your face on your knee or your ski and you're golden. Miss a crucial turn in the woods and you're looking at reconstructive surgery for sure. And yes, I think I do look like a tool when I wear it--either that or way more badass than I really am.

Yeah it makes you look like a tool, but if you are racing or hucking big huge cliffs it might be worth the protection, but just dont wear it when you go for a causal day on the slopes.

My friend Nick Franchi wears this for biking, and he's a total tool but it still looks good on him. I'd only wear this if you're racing or hucking huge cliffs, otherwise, people are going to wonder why you're wearing a full-face.
