Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Off for a sneaky short trip with BiL and for some reason I've gone and purchased my first helmet, even worse it's one with an integrated Visor.

Somebody shoot me, please?

@ster, his is very unmatching to my new one, but he can ski wayyyy better than me so plenty of "mismatch seperation" out on the slopes.

You can rectify the situation by having a super high speed crash straight into a tree / rock / other hard object and splitting the helmet clean in half, thus being able to hold onto it as a war trophy (and tell the story of how you did it with an excess of poetic license) and also convince yourself that perhaps it was a good purchase after all.

My wife bought her first ski helmet in 2016, she has held out for many years but finally fell to peer pressure, so I foolishly made the mistake of promising to buy her whichever helmet she wanted... so she went for one of those HMR integrated helmets Shocked when I found out the cost I thought it came with its own fighter jet! Shocked

She suggested I get one as well, but decided to stick with my trusty old £5 ebay purchase for another year, but it is fraying around the edges so while I was in France earlier this year I bought a DIEZZ Joint 3 Helmet, it was a lot cheaper, but haven't skied in it yet. Its also a visor integrated helmet, but I'm worried its going to be too hot for me Embarassed going to bring my old tattered helmet along for my next three trips, just in case.

Anyone used a Diezz helmet?

Check. Including selfie stick, ski mounts, spinner mounts, no matter how slow I go I can have it recorded.

@Sack the Juggler, Depending on the model, the HMR and DIEZZ helmets appear to be the same price, starting around £150. Your tattered eBay purchase is probably well past its use by date in any case.

If you want expensive, introduce your good lady to Casco helmets http://casco-helme.de/en/winter.php#Skiehelme

Getting old, peer pressure. Or maybe I just want to look faster.

Doubt I will /edit/not/edit/ get on with it and it will probably be destined for the ex ski stuff pile in the garage.

@dp, my ego has been writing cheques my body can't cash for the last 30 years, so I guess that makes me Maverick, though I think I'm more of a Goose personally.

Nah, the wife went for the top of the range HMR lid, and I went for a mid-priced Diezz helmet, mine was €180 and hers was more than double that (although I did manage to get a discount).

This is the one I bought - looks nice, but I've got a feeling its going to be too hot for me, not enough vents! Sad

they don't deliver to the IOM, so I picked it up while I was in France for my goddaughters christening and it was the only one they had in my size, but it was discounted quite a bit.

As you know, I'm married (despite pete summerskill ringing the alarm bells) with two daughters, so I've spent way more on women, booze and drugs.

Though I have been checking out ski bunnies availability for next week!!!!

Hey welcome to visor world, have been skiing with a visor for 2 seasons now and love it.
I would go as far as to say it can improve your skiing by removing a whole layer of goggles faffing around. Enjoy!!

@essex, i have never had goggle faffing as I wear a beanie and sunnies. Never hit my head, or been hit in the head. Still not sure why i've joined the darth side. Update will be provided after first session with it on Saturday.

@ansta1, if you do hit your head on the next trip can we take it as proof the lid wearers feel more protected and so ski with more abandon.

I always love hearing this theory because it makes me marvel at how somebody might think that wearing a helmet will stop them from breaking their legs. Very Happy

There are plenty of people who will pay $150 just for goggles. And these faux goggle crash hats don't look too bad.
