Omen Review

By Joe W. Ranked #181 - Helmets February 11, 2012

Took my new Omen helmet out today for the first time. I was skiing in southern Pennsylvania. The conditions varied a lot throughout the day; from rain to snow, to sunny and back again. Being able to open and close the vents at will was fantastic for regulating temperature in the varying conditions. I love the adjustable dial in this helmet. My previous helmet was a Giro Fuse, which I liked a lot, but it was just a little too big so I had to wear a beanie under it. With the adjustable dial I no longer need to wear a beanie. Overall this is a helmet that has some flexibility with fit so you should be able to get it just right. Another benefit of this is that you can keep you helmet a little loose, but still snug, when on the trails, and tighten it up so it doesn't budge when you are in the park or hitting backcountry jumps.

I installed Giro SkullCandy Tune Ups in this helmet as well. Overall I was happy with them but see my review of tune ups for specifics as installation was a little odd.
