Any advice on Helmets

I just bought this racey number in Andorra, and got some change from EUR50.

I'm 18 and have a 'Sweet' helmet, I think it is cool :wink:

I so want this helmet, my colour too. Its seriously cool.

Thanks 4X4 - I was on this site the other day looking at the goggles and didn't even notice the helmets!!

Thanks everyone for your help - I am definitely going to buy one this season (maybe not for €200 though but maybe up to €100)

i took my son 17yrs and 10mnths lol and it his 18yr old mate to austria at xmas and they both wore silver helmets with dark goggles and thought they looked the bees knees, and they are both raging hormonal lads and most girls there age had them on no problem, they even got chatting them up on the slopes

We hired them for our 2 without any problem, but I'm 99% sure there's no such law in Austria - Italy yes, but not Austria.

If adults had to wear them I'd take this:



:lol: :lol:

lol superduke but kawasaki wins hands down :D

re austria helmets admin posted a note earlier about the new laws theres a thread on here read it not long ago

Superduke, wrong as of today apparently. It is now the law in SOME parts of Austria :wink:

I wore my shiny new helmet while in La Molina last Sunday. There was a strong wind lifting the powder up the mountain, but wearing the helmet I was really cosy, much more so than if I had worn the usual hat. Second, I was amazed how comfortable my goggles were all of a sudden. All the headband pressure was taken by the helmet, and so felt much nicer to wear. Finally I wiped out at the end of the afternoon, and although I could feel the fall on my shoulder, nothing on the brain box. But when changing and loading the car boot with my gear, I noticed a lot of small scratches on the new helmet. I had hit my head on the packed piste and not felt a thing. So, I'm a convert!
