I use a Poc BMX/Skate helmet for boarding. I wear it about 50% of the time. I think proper ski helmets are too hot and too expensive. I can use this on the bike too.
Ideally I'd have a TSG superlight, but I didn't find one in a nice colourway last year.
I wear a Giro helmet and it feels odd skiing without one now.
On piste I wear it because of other people hitting me and off piste because there are rocks and trees to hit !!!
Yes I wear one, I see them as an essential peice of kit. Took a bad fall on a black run last year and landed directly on my head, helment took a beating and I was fine after 24 hours... Conditions were very poor and landed directly on solid ice.
Dread to think what might have happened if I wasnt wearing it...
*I wear a Red Trace helment, good for people with huge noggins 😉

Oooh ooh I know: You wouldn't have gone on the black run in the first place because you were missing "an essential peice of kit"?

Eh? You have a Poc helmet and think that ski lids are expensive?
The mind boggles 🙄
35 years on skiis & for the first time I wore one this year... I'll not go without one now. More comfortable than a hat better temperature control too
I use mine when commuting in winter as well. Keeps my ears toastier than trying to fit a headband under my regular helmet
