Simple and Solid   09-21-08

This helmet works well for me on most days. Adequate coverage and you don't feel like a mellon head. Good curves, skate styling looks great on the slopes.

Great helmet. Spend a few more $ and uprade for tunes.   04-13-09
Steezzzy-E (58): rating
Worth the $ to get it with the tunes. Buy the one with audio! They fit a lil tight, I rec ordering up a size if you are in between sizes. Falling on rails, this lid keeps prevents concusions. Good venting keeps you cool. Mesh and design keep you dry. Padding keeps you warm. Tunes keep you rocking. The speakers work great, crisp sound. Ive nailed a box or rail or ice head first several times and been sooo glad i had this. Nothin but love for this helmet.(audio version)

Great Helmet   03-06-09
blitz9331314724 (4): rating
Comes with several size 'liners' that you can change out to perfect the fit, make sure you use them if you need them, and size your head with your ski/snowboard hat on! My only (minor) complaint is that the chin strap is hard to adjust on-the-fly and the fuzzy thing that keeps it from rubbing your chin tends to slide badly towards the side w/ the buckle. The goggle clip works great, keeps my eyewear right where I need/want it. Helmet also has lots of flat space for stickers, but vents very well.

Perfect   11-26-08

After 13 years boarding I finally got myself to buy a helmet. I cant afford to crack my head and never work again. Helmet is simple and safe and doesn't look like a giant melon on your melon. Worth it to save my head.

Awesome Helmet for The Extreme Snowboarders   04-14-09
B-Rad-Snowboarder (6): rating
This is literally the best helmet a person could ask for. It's very comfortable and very strong. It saved my life for instance and now i am getting another one. A kid on a snowboard cut in front of me on a black diamond hitting the front of my board. I was sent tumblin down the mountain at wolf creek. This helmet is what truly saved my life. I did break a few bones but if you're serious about life then it's time to protect your melon. Buy this helmet and you'll be grateful.

Good Helmet   01-16-09
Shastownsfinest (3): rating
This is my first helmet and i really like. When i'm skiing i totally forget i'm wearing a helmet it feels just as comfortable as a beanie. It doen't get to hot and the ear pads keep your ears warm and you can still hear. The chin starp can get irritating but its no big deal. Overall its a great helmet and i reconmend it.

Decent helmet   01-03-09
Tyler Lyon (6): rating
I like this helmet because it is pretty warm without getting really hot. It looks good and feels good on my head. Only complaints is that the ear cover start to hurt my ears after a while on the mountain and that with my goggles on the helmet gets pulled upwards a little so that it sits back on my head. other than that its a good helmet.
