Warm and comfy

By Ranked #603 - Helmets January 25, 2011

My primary metric for judging equipment is how much I have to think about or fuss with my gear while I'm out skiing. If I ski all day and never really think about my gear, then I'm pretty satisfied with it. This helmet passes with flying colors. I put it on, open the vents for the downhill, close them up to keep warm on the lift, and don't really think about it otherwise.

It's warm with the vents closed but cool enough for sunny spring skiing when you take out the earpieces and open the vents. It's comfortable and doesn't seem to get funky (I have worn mine for about 40 days of resort skiing). I haven't had any problems with loose earpieces or rattling vents. I'm not sure what else to say. Recommended.

Wondering if the black color helmut is stays cool enough in warm spring sun and temperatures. Or, should I get the white color to better reflect the sun off?
