Hot or Cold...

By JJ Ranked #845 - Helmets November 25, 2009

As well as being the only helmet ever that doesn't make my head look like a wildly overambitious lollipop/mushroom, this helmet is amazing because it has mahoosive vents, which mean that I can teach on the nursery slope in 20 degrees C and not fry. I can also play in the pow at -15 degrees C and not freeze. Although I had trouble initially getting my (Oakley Stockholm) goggles above the brim to sit on my forehead, I stretched the straps out a few times and they sit there fine now, but still hug my face when my goggles are on. The brim fits perfectly with my Oakleys and the soft ear pieces mean that I can put my sunnies on without getting an ache on the sides of my head.

I haven't had a big crash in this helmet so I can't speak for it's safety, but my head feels warm and snug, or cool and comfy - and I don't feel ridiculous. Win!

Shame they don't do it in blue anymore...
