Wildhorn Drift Snowboard Helmet, Ski Helmet Women Men & Youth - US Ski Team Official Supplier - Lightweight with 13 Adjustable Vents, Premium Construction

I have been skiing Eagle Point, Beaver, Utah, without a helmet, but my speed has increased to the point I was growing worried about hitting my head. I bought a Wildhorn Outfitters Drift helmet and Roca goggles. Awesome products! That's the only way to describe them. The helmet is stunningly light, sits tight in place, is really comfortable and has a simple vent/stay-warm slide lever. The backstrap holds those awesome Roca goggles in perfect position. The goggles have a large field of view and changing lenses takes seconds. I have ice blue lenses for sunny days and low light yellow lenses for cloudy/snowy days, and I change the lenses sitting in my car at the lodge with the goggles attached to the helmet. When I'm done for the day, I slide the goggles down into operating position to relieve the strap tension, slide the helmet with goggles into the Drift helmet storage bag, and drop it into my ski gear bag with gloves and neck warmer for safe storage for my next day of skiing. Oh and did I mention that the Drift helmet and Roca goggles are very affordable to boot, and they are very high quality. I expect to get years of service. AWESOME Wildhorn Outfitters ski gear.

I was waffling about the size I should buy, my head measured 57cm and the Medium went to 58cm. So thought I might need to go up to a Large. Bought the medium anyways as that was the size I was replacing. To my delight the Medium fit perfectly. It's just snug enough and the chin strap actually fits a lot better then on my last helmet that I was replacing. It was easy to adjust and I love the vent system in this helmet, which I didn't have in my last helmet. The idea is for it to be snug and comfortable with the idea that you'll never need to use it to save your medula oblongata. I was also able to add my wireless headphones I had installed in my previous ear covers into this helmet no problem. They fit perfect and worked perfect. The color I got was the blue and I love it... Nice good looking helmet with some nice little benefits...

This helmet is a great alternative to the "Asian Fit" helmets from expensive brands like Smith and Oakley. What is Asian Fit? It simply means that the helmet shape is more circular rather than a narrow oval. It's wider ear-to-ear so the width almost matches the front-to-back length. So if your head shape is more like Charlie Brown's, then 'Asian Fit' may help you get a more comfortable helmet to wear all day.My 12 year old has a big round noggin and he always complained that most ski helmets squeezed his ears. The issue is that he has a very round head and most helmets are too narrow.When he just started skiing as a toddler, he used a Bauer lil sport helmet that was designed for hockey but also rate for skiing. I also had him in ice hockey and we went through a bunch of hockey helmets that were too narrow. The Lil Sport is ROUND and fits a wider head.Of course he outgrew that and over the years we have always had to make sure to try helmets in stores to get a good fit. In desperation, I once bought a helmet that was only a little tight but he thought he could live with. By the end of a full day skiing, his ears were really irritated. My lesson: anything that slightly irritates you in the store for 10 minutes will drive you nuts after 7 or 8 hours on the ski slopes.Internet purchasing was really dicey because most helmets are much longer front-to-back than they are wide ear-to-ear. But for the Wildhorn Drift, I read in one of the reviews that this helmet was good for a wider head and after eyeballing the product photos and deciding that it was indeed shaped rounder and wider, I chanced the purchase through Amazon.Not only is my kid's head round but its big for his age so after measuring his head as instructed, I purchased an Adult medium. It turns out to be a great fit. No issues with squeezing the ears after multiple long days on the slopes.The helmet is well built, comfortable, has good airflow control, a snap holder for the goggle strap, and looks good. No complaints... in fact compliments from my kid! As my 12-yr old now follows me down black diamond slopes, I feel confident that this helmet will provide strong protection for his head. This is a good purchase - especially if you are looking for a rounder "Asian Fit" shaped helmet.
