I know helmets are always a risky subject when it comes to weather you should or shouldn't be wearing them, and it is down to personal choice...
I came across this article about a particular helmet, that happens to be my helmet of choice, i actually have 2 of them...!!! ! for cold wether to wear a balaclava under, and the next size down for when it is not cold and i don;t need anything under... ;)
I have to say that i am really impressed and i bought the 1st one 2 seasons ago, and the smaller one this season...!
I can also state, that on having an accident, the mounting system did what it was supposed to do, it broke away in one place, leaving the camera still fixed to the helmet, but not rigidly, so while a pain as you have to buy a new mounting point, it served it's purpose, i have seen people with helmets hit on the camera/mount, that have either pierced or dented the helmet severely, and i guess this is what the article is getting at...!!!
The downside of this helmet is the pricing, it is NOT a cheap helmet, and if full retail is what you have to pay, it hurts...!
The last one i bought was 2899r retail, but i got 50% discount through a friend who works in a ski/snowboard store... So i actually only paid $180 for my last one...
It is definitely worth a read, and if you get the chance to try one on, if you can buy at the right price, i think it is a worthwhile investment... Also being Carbon Fibre, it is extremely light, i almost forget i am wearing a helmet sometimes...!!!
