Wearing a Helmet.

I wore my helmet for the first time today. It is actually quite comfortable.

On cold days, what do you wear under the helmet?

nothing my helmit doesnt ever get that cold.

Don't let that helmit get to your ego. You still can break your leg, although it doesn't suck as much as dieing. Just keep that in mind, everyone gets a little reckless at first, you can't help it.

Kind of like a beacon in the backcountry. Neither decrease you chances of getting into an accident, they just make your chances of living better...

i have the giro9 which is a very light weight helmeted that doesn't provide full coverage. on cold days, i wear a hat and neck warmer and stay out of the woods. there are liners you can wear under the helmet.

I wear a Seirus Thermax Skull Liner Cap, go to Campmor.com Item Number: 47763 or any outdoor shop...works well and when its time to take off it slips into any pocket without taking any space...

When it's really cold, I'll wear a head sock so my ear lobes aren't exposed. When it's really really cold, I wear my combo-clava. Most times the helmut is warm enough.

I have a Giro 9 too. I wear a very thin polypropylene balaclava I've had for years, long before I had a ski helmet or even skied... There are hoods to be worn under helmets avaliable.

I have one of those thin balaclava things too, but I don't think I've had to use it in the last two years I've been wearing a helmet. My helmet is a full coverage one, and is plenty warm. I skied the first few days of my season with the vents open by accident and hardly even noticed....

I also have a Giro 9. On coolish days, I will wear a skull cap. On colder days, I have a couple of compo clava. They saved me a couple of times on the slow Smuggs chairs.

I have never needed anything more than my Giro 9, goggles and a neck gator. Maybe since I am follically challenged, the direct skull contact lets the snug fitting hemlet insulate better
