The Pro-tec B2 Snow Helmet brings skate style to the snow and features an innovative multi-impact liner, so you can try that elusive trick as many times as it takes to stomp it. With the same look as Pro-tec's classic skate helmet, the B2 keeps your style basic, while giving you the protection to throw the most progressive flips and spins. Standard EPS helmet liners crush after a single impact, which means they're basically useless. The patented SXP liner in the B2 rebounds after impact, retaining its original shape, and its ability to absorb shock. A tough, injection molded ABS shell protects against smaller hits, like dropping the B2 Snow Helmet in the parking lot.
Bottom Line: Keeping your dome safe digger after digger.
I've had this helmet for four seasons now. I originally got it because I had a different helmet that was uncomfortable from a different brand, and no more! I wear it all day without problems, even mountaineering and BC skiing. It was true to size; just use a measuring tape to measure your head and order the one that fits right for you.
It works great with goggles or glasses. For lift-skiing I usually use goggles and for BC I use glasses and both are plenty comfortable.
The venting is not the best, but it's for snowsports. I mean, come on. I still wear it mountaineering and on the ups when I'm BC skiing and I don't overheat. I guess if you were getting too hot you could take the ear covers off, but I've never done that. Conversely, it keeps my head warm in most conditions, though sometimes a helmet liner is necessary for the extreme colds, but a thin polypro liner or balaclava fits underneath just fine.
I especially like that it's toughly built; it has a nice and sturdy ABS shell and is not just a modified bike helmet like many other ski helmets out there. I have whacked my head soundly on many a low hanging tree branche with this thing but it protected great and lived to protect again.
I tried on about every snow helmet in the universe before stumbling upon the pro-tec B2 snow. It snaps on like a tupperware lid keeping my melon fresh. The removable ear thing fits in my pocket when the day warms up, and the google keeper strap holds them in the right spot. Pro-tec is the only multi-impact helmet, but you can't buy a helmet without trying it on. You can't buy a helmet without trying it on. You can't buy a helmet without trying it on.
I've been searching for a helmet to have a little fun with and this is it. It fits my melon perfect and has a nice round shape to put graphics on. See the picture below. I got the matte metallic gold which was pretty blah. A couple of shots of gold metallic paint (designed for plastic) later and some decals and it looks pretty close to the real thing. Love it!
