Great Look, Weird Fit at first

By Skibumbw Ranked #1101 - Helmets February 17, 2009

I purchased the matte black version of this helmet and I have been told it look pretty cool. I wear it with smith prodigy goggles and the strap fits underneath the helmet comfortably due to the design of the protective foam inside. I haven't taken and falls with the helmet yet, but i be that if i do, there will be a nice bruise from the prodigy's clip at the back of my head. The only downside to the whole wearing the goggle strap inside the helmet part is that you really cannot take off your goggle without taking off your helmet. This is problematic to me because I teach skiing and I usually try to have my goggles off when I am introducing myself to students and at other times when I feel that I have something important that I should communicate. I usually unclip the helmet and move everything up on my head, but it still feels weird to me. I will concur with the "Not So Much" review in saying that this helmet moves around a little at first. But I moved the padding around so that now, it fits solid on my head. I haven't been skiing with it in really warm weather yet, but it doesn't have much ventilation. So I envision my head getting pretty warm this spring. I feel this is a problem with a lot of helmets until you get into the move expensive ones with huge adjustable vents.
All in all though, a great inexpensive helmet that looks pretty cool and takes some time to get used to.
