how's your helmet game ?

[willywhit]

helmets have come a long way. watched this video yesterday and reminded me how old and packed out my helmets are.

Craniologie in Breck looks legit

Curious what cutting edge maggots are rockin' for brain buckets.
Currently I run a Burton with motorola blue tooth built in. Back up is an old Leedom I've had for way too long.
I've had boardercross/moto full face helmets that are way too heavy unless they're carbon. several mtb helmets that work when it's not too cold.
Google game, same deal. Looking to upgrade the old Spys.

Ruin my hair

[WTF is dat]

I’m usually rocking a bern helmet or sometimes a Santa Cruz helmet.


I like park style helmets because they look cooler and steezy. I like to look steezy as fuck while I’m skiing and a helmet is an important part of the steeziness

I really like my protec classic, and want to replace it with the same model, but sadly they don't seem to make them anymore.

Giro now only offers MIPS helmets.

For those who don't know, a MIPS type helmet offers protection from rotational impact. The design allows the interior of the helmet to rotate against the outer shell and thus prevents your brain from rotating inside your skull. So a MIPS rated helmet offers protection from the most serious type of brain injury.

MIPS helmets are more expensive but Giro does offer some not too expensive helmets.

AFAIK, every ski helmet maker offers at least some MIPS helmets.

I rock an old POC MIPS. Since GIRO bought the right to the MIPS name, their brand and every brand under them offer MIPS tech, which I think is great. Especially for idiots like me who have multiple concussions.

I have toasted a POC MIPS while DH biking and see how much i rotates. Light because its Carbon shell. But once it is done, it is DONE.

POC now offers the Coron and this spring will be the Coron Air with their newly labeled "Spin" tech. Essentially the same thought process as MIPS but done with padding inside the helmet. Will be cheaper than the OG POC, but probably more expensive than GIRO.

Goggles under the helmet or over the helmet?

Absolutely under the helmet. You can’t look very steezey with goggles over

A helmet has saved my life twice now. Both times cracking and taking the damage and keeping me from sucking my food through a straw.

Smith MIPS this year. I replace every 2-3 years depending on how much funk is going on. True or not I think material degrades after time from sun, temps, exposure, etc.. so my head is worth the extra bucks every few years.
