Just curious, see allot of skate board helmets, I myslef have always used my LTD snowboard helmet with all the vent holes unpluges, and the ear flaps taken off, I am yet to find any helmet as comfortable as my LTD. So what is everyone else that doesn't use a bike helmet using?

Pro-Tek bmx are probably the same $ and more designed for riding IMO.

I got a full face, which is fairly normal I guess, but I am getting a skate helmet for around town type riding.
