How To Buy Snowboard Helmets

[cwazywabbit11]

I saw ppl with motocross helmets

[kgbdfa]

Just bought the electric EG2 goggles, will the red mutiny 2012 XL fit with this goggle? i've read mixed reviews.

[thehouseboardshop]

@kgbdfa Its not the best fit but it will works. I hear the Vonzipper Fishbows fit great.

[McScottson]

@kgbdfa i personally hv the eg2 and a red mutiny xl. IMO it fits just fine

[92yankeespc]

there are some giro helmet noted for skiing, can they also be use for snowboarding or should i just stick with snowboarding helmets..

[Jvalthuis]

if taking the padding out to were a beanie under it does that defeat the saftey part

[tipibo]

I bought the hi fi red...and realized it was really ventilated...im always cold..what should i buy to put under?

Thanks

[thehouseboardshop]

@tipibo From the inside, cover the vents with duct tape.  Otherwise take all the soft padding out, remove the small velcro sticky pads, and rock a beanie underneath.

[halo2nerd]

Will my Oakley Splices fit the RED Hi Fi Helmet?

[thehouseboardshop]

@halo2nerd What size helmet?

[micofaso]

How would a red mutiny II fit with Von zipper Fubars

[thehouseboardshop]

@micofaso They will go together pretty good.

[HulkReborn24]

Will the red hi fi helmet fit with electric eg2 goggles?

[thehouseboardshop]

@HulkReborn24 its tricky with those... if its a l/xl helmet probably.

[zachdMX721]

on the helmets that have the audio. can you take phone calls with them? my friend has some headphones that you can. i have thought about getting a helmet. but i would like to just plug in to my iphone for music and if someone calls i would like to answer it. can any of them do this?

[thehouseboardshop]

@zachdMX721 I know skull candy is making a lot of i phone compatible headphones. There is Smith Skullcandy kit that works with the iphone

[TheTobyBurton]

is a snowboard helmet the same as a biking helmet ??

[thehouseboardshop]

@TheTobyBurton No they are not. typically snowboarding helmets are built a little different, little more padding and insulation. Biking helmets are meant to breath and be more aerodynamic. BMX helmets are a lot like skateboarding helmets

[247shredding]

What helmet sits low on your head and can fit a beanie and goggles under it???

[thehouseboardshop]

@247shredding This sounds like a riddle. Here is you best option Red Trace Raw Snowboard Helmet Black 2011 - its basically a helmet with most of the padding taken out so you can fit you Bennie and goggle underneath. its 47.95

[247shredding]

@thehouseboardshop Thanks cuz i have been using my skateboard helemt and its really uncomfortable

[MrLilpappy09]

hey just wondering but can i use a skateboard helmet for snowboarding ?????

[thehouseboardshop]

@MrLilpappy09 Yes you can, but it will be a little cold. Skate helmet are meant to allow you head to breath and snowboard helmets are design to keep you warm.

[bday8716]

hey i want a helmet with a nice built in audio system what would you recommend?

i would also like to be able to stop and start my music really quickly and easily.

[thehouseboardshop]

@bday8716 I would check out some of the new Red helmets, most of them are audio accessory compatible- meaning you use what headphones you want to use. or you can get the Red headphone kit or the scull candy home brew kit.

[Matthew52494]

Im looking for a snowboarding park helmet that sits low on your head. Is there any helmet that sits low on the head and isnt just look like another head ontop of mine.

[thehouseboardshop]

@Matthew52494 Bern helmet are going to be your best bet, for a low pro helmet.

[pooppooppoopiepoop27]

Hey, im 14 years old and i was thinking of getting a RED Avid helmet but im not sure what size to get. My hat size is 7 1/4. Im looking to buy online so id appreciate the help. Thanks!

[thehouseboardshop]

@pooppooppoopiepoop27 The sizing of a helmet is measured in cm around your head. (see sizing chart on our web site) BUT what you really need to do it try it on before you buy. For a helmet to really protect you to its full potential it needs to fit right and for the most comfort against the cold it needs to fit with your goggles. Try helmets at your local shop and then you can come back and order online. Yes, you can always return a helmet if it doesn't fit if it hasn't been used on the hill.

[phil656565]

@pooppooppoopiepoop27 i tried on 5 or six helmets before i bought my revolver, ones from smith pro tec bern and the giro bad leiutenant, only one that fit right was the revolver

[wake123soccer123]

Alright which helmet is better giro revolver or smith holt?

[thehouseboardshop]

@wake123soccer123 I would say maybe the Smith Holt. But the best way to tell which one will be best for you is to try it on. See how it fits your head and how it fits with your goggles. Helmets can be kind of tricky

[OMFGaUnicorn]

@wake123soccer123 I have the giro and i dont like it very much. Its too wide for me and i don think it looks as cool as when i bought it.

[DanyViet94]

what brand is the green one too the left with the brim?

[thehouseboardshop]

@DanyViet94 Red? Maybe? Not entirely sure.

[DaFistxProductions]
