When looking for a helmet, there are four things you want to consider:
FIT
FEATURES
STYLE
PRICE
FIT
1. Find a helmet that has an adjustable fit. A good helmet should fit snug but not too tight.
2. Look for a helmet with a size adjustment dial.
3. Your helmet should be comfortable, snug, secure, and not slip off when you fall.
FEATURES TO LOOK FOR IN YOUR SNOW HELMET:
1. Airflow. Proper air vents will wick the heat away from your head and make your goggles less foggy.
2. MIPS - Multidimensional Impact Protection System (MIPS) - The inbuilt layer reduces the force on the head and ensures maximum safety. Mips helmet technology
3. Removable fleece lining. It Ensures added warmth and is also convenient to wash.
4. Warm fleece earpads - best helmet for ski
5. Removable earpads.
STYLE:
1. Find a style and color combination that best fits your style.
PRICE:
1. Helmets are reasonably cheap for the amount of safety it provides; get the best helmet for snowboarding.

Awesome video as usual! Keep it up 👍
Thank you so much! 👊
Going on ski ⛷️ first time next week! Thank you for the video :)
Love the graphics that show how the helmet works. Well done!
As a CASI Lv3 instructor thank you for bringing awareness about wearing a helmet!! It frustrates me the amount of beginner students I’ve seen that don’t wear a helmet. They spend over $1000 dollar on taking multiple lessons, yet refused to spend $200 (or less) on a helmet that can save their life just because they think it looks “cooler”. It won’t be cool when you’re on deathbed. It only takes one accident to kill you. You can be the most careful snowboarder but others aren’t.
Thank you so much for this comment. After seeing first-hand what can happen without a helmet, it's a lot easier to speak out about it! Thanks for sharing your perspective and insights.
Im binge watching your videos. Which goggles are you showing in this video? Thank you!
Love this so much! Nice work :)
Thanks so much for watching!
What brand/kind of goggles are these? :)
I would recommend a magnetic buckle like fidlock, very easy under the chin with no skin pinching and super easy with gloves or mittens. Informative video thumbs UP!
Oh, excellent recommendation! Thanks so much for watching!
please tell me how you get the ear pads out! I just bought the helmet a month or so ago, put the pads in and can't get them out without fear of breaking them off 😬😜. with this warm ass winter, trying not to have my earlobes sweat next trip to the mountain 😅
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
You’re. The. Best. ❤️
Smart and funny. 🙌
Thank you so much! ❤️

My ski pole got caught according to my husband on his ski, so he was trying to lifted me? 🤔 that’s what it felt like., so my body weight went Into him he let me go bz he was falling n my head hit the ground like basketball 😱😱 it was so bad my goggles cut my face! Definitely safe me from a mayor injury amen!! for the helmet! Oh.. let’s add up to this story as we were getting ready he said it’s too hot you are going to get too hot with the helmet 😱😱😱 I glad didn’t heard that nonsense!!

I feel like I just watched a vodka drunk blonde girl try to sell me a car.
Ha. It’s always so fascinating to me how some people enjoy leaving rude comments about other people on the internet. 🤷♀️ I’m too busy enjoying my life to consider spewing negativity, but I appreciate you increasing my engagement rate! I hope you have a happy day, Josh! 👊
@The Gear Lady Was that not a compliment?
