Would a ski helmet described as 'suited for springtime' be ok for skiing in Borovets February. Alpina ORA helmet.wanted to buy helmets for self & boys but wondered if there was some reason this would not be ideal. Like most don't want to spend a fortune, 1st time skiers.

re: helmets
Well alot has been said on this forum over the last few weeks about helmets,and for the first time i wore one on this skiing holiday...
The good points are they are warm,comfy,and have air vents so your head doesn't itch like when you wear a beannie,oh and they could save your life in a accident..
Caroline,Timbo's wife had a bang on the head last weak,also Gibbo had a tiff with a tree,oh and i used my head as a brake when i wiped out on the grave yard and my helmet stoped me just ...

Bad points well apart from the style factor and i happen to think i look a tad sexy in mine,then there are none...
Through the week Fraser clocked some pretty large speeds up, :irked: and hear and there i wasn't to far behind :byebye: and if you wipe out at 10kph or 60 kph its a fair bet you could hurt your head....

So don't be foolish wear a lid it just might save you a rather large head ache or even your life !! rant over...

re: helmets
Has it got a lot of vents or something aimed at keeping your bonce cool during spring conditions, seems an odd phrase but if it's a ski helmet, can't see why it won't be fine, in really cold conditions I have to wear a thin hat or hoody under my helmet to stay warm.re: helmets
They say you should never wear any thing under a helmet,something to do with impact protection..Mine has small vents all over it..As long as it's ski grade then i don't see the problem...
re: helmets
WOT NOT EVEN A THONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!re: helmets
Tim, who are they? certainly not Bern who make a great helmet with a wooly beannie incorporated underneath.
re: helmets
Well mine come with a warning saying that nothing should be worn underneath...I think the clue is in the "incorporated" yours come with Beannie included, So should properly others differ...
re: helmets
Incorporated as in comes in the same box, hat looks like Granny could have knitted it, photo shows it worn clearly under helmet, dam glad of it in -13oC. HH Frost hoody also designed to go under ski/board helmet.re: helmets
Well lets hope you don't hit your head mate...
And i'm sure granny didn't knitt it...
re: helmets
Did hit my head, novice snowboarder took me out on a steepish ice patch in Bansko last year, very glad I was wearing a helmet, bit of winded and a headache but no harm done. www.bernunlimited.com check out the Brentwood
