Are helmet heads the worst?

My head always looks like a helmet, if I don't shave for awhile, it looks like a helmet with a fuzzy ring around it. Before I started skiing with a helmet, my buddy was telling me how warm they are, bullshit, maybe if you still have fur on your head, I forgo safety for warmth on very cold days and break out my trusty Mad Bomber hat. The sacrifice of that rabbit's life has been greatly appreciated by me for a long time.

Best feelings after skiing or riding:

1) Taking your boots off. This one can't be beat.

2) Taking your helmet off and scratching your head.

3) Getting into a hot shower or hot tub.

2 and 3 are really close, but nothing will ever de-throne #1.

My boots are comfortable so I do not get #1. # 2 yes but then I put a hat on and #3 I generally day trip so that comes a little later.

For me the best feeling is sitting down and having a beer! :beer:

Boots don't bother me & I don't wear a helmet so 1 & 2 are out. Rarely go into a hot tub so that's out to but a hot shower is nice. To me the best part of the day is when I take my knee brace off.

Good point - knee brace off is a good feeling and definitely concur from experience!

My boots are super comfy too, but I still love taking them off at the end of the day. I don't need a knee brace (yet. knocks on wood) but I can imagine taking one off feeling great after a long day. I also love taking off compression-type thermals after a day riding.
