Good for Watermelon Heads and protecting your Dome.

By Michael pansiri Ranked #787 - Helmets January 5, 2010

A good Helmet overall and IMHO I like the styling of the Omen more than most of the other giros and smiths. The goggle clip in the back is pretty flimsy though, and though i didn't break it off after 10 days of hard use, I'm pretty sure some way or another this thing is gonna be dust in the wind once the baggage handlers throw my board bag in the wrong position, and for this reason only is why i gave it one less star.I really do like the dial fit for the helmet, and the two, count em two venting areas allow for multiple flow options. Ear flaps are pretty comfy however not easily removed. I have a pretty gigantic head too, right at 62.5 cm, and the sizing guide was a perfect fit, glad backcountry didn't carry the XL or I would have ordered it! So, Kudos and 5 stars to BC on the proper sizing guide available and not letting me buy a helmet that was too big. A good helmet however a bit on the pricier end of the spectrum, but isn't protecting your dome worth 200 dollars?
