Skimo Helmet

By Jared Inouye Ranked #174 - Harnesses and Climbing Helmets August 20, 2009

I use this helmet for rando races and backcountry skiing. Before I got this helmet, I would occasionally pack a ski helmet. But I gave that up because packing ski helmets are bulky and it's an extra effort to get them off the pack, remove your hat, buckle helmet on head. . . . Often, I would end up leaving my helmet in the pack for the descent. With the Starlight however, I can leave the helmet on all the time. In rando races, that's a requirement. In the backcounty, it's a nice feature. It is minimalist and light. It well ventilated. And it adds some protection to your head. Additional bonus, it works ok to mount bike lights -- most HID/powerful LED lights require some type of helmet to be mounted on. Think, night skiing in the backcountry.
