CarvCanada Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Does anyone know what brand makes motocross style helmets with the full chin guard? All I found was the Salomon CrossMax which looks right, except for its LOUD ski racing graphics. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonerider Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 They make motorcross style helmets as well. I got a all black with silver visor one at REI for $20 on super closeout. A little flashy for my taste, but at $20 from $75 - I'll survive the bling bling look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarvCanada Posted April 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 if they had that in all black... ohhhoho I'm thinking these might be too bulky to be snowboarding helmets. They are designed for 40km/h hitting hard dirt or concrete. Anyone know what brand makes full shells like these for skiing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Yellow Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Not the greatest pic, but the black w/flames is a pro-tec and the blue is a Red MT1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsider Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 mellow yellow- that resort looks almost identical to the one of the ones i ride at (lemme guess landfill?) anyway, Gyro makes a nice fullface, not too flashy and not too beastly. i havnt been able to find anyone that sells them onlin though.

mtnpig Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Just curious but I'm in the market for full face and was wondering if the full face with the rigid chin guard would be a neck snapper. I've noticed that some of the ski/slalom/whatever are using a flexible front chin to redirect the force of the blow and absorb some of the impact without to much of a rebound affect (like a badly tuned motorcycle shock that just bounces you off the seat). Any input on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 backcountrystore.com only has smalls Meanwhile this shop has a suspiciously-similar-looking BMX helmet for only a little bit more... anyone know if these are the same product? Is it a BMX helmet being sold to snowboarders, or a snowboard helmet being sold to BMXers, or two different products with the same name, or what? http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1426880&cp=1178449.1066853&parentPage=family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Ford Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Dainesse makes a good one, the Red full face helmet is decent. Most mtn bike helmet manufacturers have a downhill version with fullface that work just fine for snowboarding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy S. Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Keep in mind that full face helmets are even hotter than regular ones. For people like me who sweat a lot, vents are critical. I have the Giro full-face and even that, with its vents, is pretty warm (too warm for every day riding). The Red one has almost no vents. MX helmets tend to be made much stronger and are therefore often heavier. Giro makes a full-face bicycle helmet. I've been trying to find one in my size but haven't succeeded yet. That looks really appealing to me for the times I have to run SL with skier poles. I'd wear it if I ran BX also. Here's a picture of me in my full-face from Giro. One other note, try to get one with a smaller, rather than larger, front end. The bigger it is, the more it gets in the way of your forward vision.

[/b] I bought a Flint full-face helmet through this company a year or two ago. They're good people, too. The first helmet I ordered was too big but they traded it in for a smaller model with no fuss. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/csskiequipment/20giskisnhe.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
