I need to buy a full face biking helmet, and after a serious snowboarding accident last season I'm also considering replacing my regular helmet with a full face type. Can you use the same helmet for both? What are the major differences? I would like to avoid buying two nearly identical helmets. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks,-Slav

There really aren't any major differences other than target market. Both are designed to take big hits at high speed, sometimes in the face. There are plenty of people that use freeride helmets for skiing and vice versa. I'd say find the helmet for whatever sport that you like the best and cross it over to the other.
