Good Basic Helmet

By Ranked #882 - Helmets March 2, 2010

I bought this for my husband. He learned to ski 3 years ago so that he could ski with our 2 boys. We live 15 minutes from a ski hill, so even though we aren't/weren't skiers, most kids here ski, and we want our kids to be able to ski with there friends. My husband taught himself. So, he is not the best skier, nor is he really "into" skiing, like some men. Nevertheless, I thought he should have a helmet. This one seemed good - sturdy, and not too expensive. He has worn it several times and says it is, "fine." That's the best I usually get from him, he never uses words like "great," "terrific," or "wonderful." So I'd say this helmet does its job. It came with extra pads that can be placed inside the helmet to adjust the fit, but he wears a fleece skull cap under it for warmth and has had no issues with fit.
