Totally the reason that I will not ride without a helmet. You can be the best rider on the snow and 1 bad move and you’re in an ambulance on your way to cooma hospital and a huge bill. All that to save $100 on a helmet.

I got myself a new Giro one last weekend as my RED one is a little big. Either way, both are great helmets.

Helmets are good. Goggles too, we tend to think of goggles are protecting our eyes from the sun and the elements, but they protect against impact and tree limbs as well.

I’ve not hit my head hard enough to crack the helmet though… that’s rough.
