Question about a helmet - Snowboarding Forum

Sprees · 12-19-2010, 01:21 PM

So I just bought a helmet, this will be my first year wearing one. I was wondering, do you usually wear a beanie underneath or does the helmet itself keep you warm enough? I'm asking because with a beanie underneath my helmet it gets a little to tight..

A thin beanie would probably be best. I wear a balaclava under mine.

I have a helmet with vents in it. I do not wear a beanie underneath. It keeps me plenty warm.

If you got a helmet that fits you properly, you would not be able to fit a beanie underneath it.

This is my first year wearing a helmet as well. I am already VERY glad that I have it.

J.Schaef hit it right on the head. Heed his advice on this as it is solid. It's also the same thing I would tell you.

I consider myself an intermediate just learning to pop off kickers and rollers and I caught a heel edge BAD and slammed the back of my head on man made packed powder and saved my ass...4th for the helmet!
