Customers like the warmth of the sport helmet. For example, they mention it fits perfectly, keeps their head warm in below zero temperatures, and has the vents for staying cool if it's warm. The vents are adjustable, which is great for the changing temperatures throughout the day, and they can close them for cold weather and open them to cool off.

This helmet fits very well, is very light and looks pretty awesome. I was quite happy with the venting system as well. The boa system in the helmet is another nice touch because you can get a very snug fit without too much pressure on your head. The chinstrap is even really comfortable. I am very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend this helmet to anyone in the market for a new helmet because of the comfort, features and quality of construction.

LOVE this helmet. It fits perfectly, kept my head warm in below zero temperatures while skiing and kept me safe to boot! Added bonus, my old pair of Smith goggles fit right like a glove to the contours. I really liked the ability to open and close the vents too! Well worth the money.

awesome helmet. worth every penny. the ear guards are detachable if you didn't want them on. you can buy skull candy headphones that slide in the ear guards if you want to listen to music. I love the vents on it cause you can close them for cold weather and open them to cool off.

Just got back from a snowboarding trip in Colorado and this helmet worked out great! The inside has a super soft lining that feels good against your forehead and ears. The vents on top are adjustable, which was great for the changing temperatures throughout the day. Most importantly it protected my head when I took a spill. Highly recommend this helmet!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have a brain, then why not protect it?

Found a great price on Amazon (had to go to a YouTube video for how to size it without going to a ski shop, and it was perfectly described) and it fits perfectly.

Great features for headsets and holding goggles, I got the white for those spring-skiing days that will heat up your head (yes there are vents, but as I live in Florida I know vents only do so much with the hot sun).

And it looks great, worth the extra money to protect what's inside your head (buy a cheaper one if you git nothing worthwhile to protect)
