I use a ski helmet and I particularly like the ear covers. I start wearing the ski helmet and goggles in late November because the cold wind makes my ears hurt like crazy and I'll accept any excuse to wear goggles. So sad. So true. When the worst of the cold weather is over in early March, I'll wear my bmx helmet again, as well as the goggles. The bmx helmet does accommodate the goggles very well.

First if you are riding in snow, this is not the time to give up your helmet. All my spills have been in the winter and I am greatful for the brain bucket. I wear a SixSixOne helmet. It is great. It has great ventilation on top and in front and back which allows me to thread my head lamp through it. I am able to wear any type of hat underneath and as its made for BMX riding it offers great protection. I bought at my LBS for I think 25.00 and I am able to wear my ski goggles with it. I ride in snow regularly.
Mine is bright pink but they come in other colors but I like to be seen by those in the rolling coffins when I ride. Attachment 183343 |

During below-freezing weather, I wear Pro-Tec's MultiSport half-cut helmet. Yes it's certified for both snowboarding and bike use.
The Pro-Tec has a ski-goggle clip (see my attached photos), and it has more vents than a ski helmet, plus it has a removeable ear-liner and vent filters if you want more ventilation. Been using this helmet with my Anon ski goggles for the past 3 winters, works perfectly for me. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=183368http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=183369 |
