 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have heard about these but never seen them, anyone got any links, etc.
From what I've heard they are beanies/hats with a material that acts like a helmet but obviously not as hard.
I'm quite tempted as I hate wearing my helmet.

I don't see the point in them. If you're likely to hit your head you should wear a helmet.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

buckers, no point going skiing if you are uncomfortable.
Your helmet should not be unpleasant - I love mine
1. Change your helmet - give yourself up to a whole morning to choose the right one, just as you would with a boot
2. If you really can't tolerate the helmet, I suppose any sort of padding must be better than none

as Jonpim, said get another helmet - I tried loads of different ones and some caused absolute pain, I ended up with a R.E.D Trace and forget I have it on.

Good advice from Jonpim. Some people have endless trouble with boots, some just have fairly regular feet and have few problems - the right shell size and shape and they're away with no modifications. Same as helmets I reckon. I could only find one helmet to fit me well and comfortably and I really don't notice it on me now.

It doesn't look as though those rigid beanies have a protective standard assigned to them like helmets are required to have, does it? Though as has been said, its probably better than no protection, though I can't say persoanlly that I'm overboard about the styling or look of them.

I saw the 3DO (??) beanies, the ones filled with the 'intelligent' putty stuff, on the Gadget Show and they look cool but I think I'd rather opt for a helmet... not that there's much to damage inside my empty head!! 
Still, better safe than sorry...

there is a RED one listed on the Ellis Brigham website. I might have a look. I can't get on with helmets (there really isn't one that fits my head) and this might be a nice compromise. Presumably it will fit in a pack better than a helmet too
