Bulgaria Ski discussion board

We're planning our second skiing trip in Feb. I'm hoping to go a bit faster this time and wondering whether I ought to get a helmet. Last year I felt my progress was hindered by the fear factor of losing control and crashing into the trees (I was really preoccupied with this thought though it never happened).

Can anyone tell me whether a helmet would be a good investment or a waste of money - I'm hoping it will buy me confidence! I'm particularly keen to know if they feel restrictive and a bit of hindrance. Also, are there special helmets for skiing or will ones used for other sports be okay? I can only remember seeing them on the kids, so maybe this plan is a bit of an over reaction to my nerves.

you can get skiing helmets from decathlon at reasonable prices cant vouch for comfort , and realy we should all wear them ,i dont ,but after a playground accident that my son had ,where he suffered a depressed fractured skull it made me think that we are just as vunerable as a child at getting seriously injured thankfully they are few and far between.its not always your fault either it can be some other idiot that is out of control and has no basic skills that ploughs into you and you taking evasive action which ends up injuring yourself,but at the end of the day its a decision that you have to make for yourself,i will still be wearing my bobble hat and hope i have another brill year without a bump so far so good
