How to fit a snowboard helmet?

These types of helmets are good because they can be adjusted. They have a custom fit system that allows you to adjust them to different head sizes. This way you can actually have 1 helmet instead of 2 in case that you and your family members are not rafting together.

Call me crazy but most Snowboard pants as of yet don't have a separate "fit". That means you won't have any described as"loose", "baggy" "straight leg" etc. What you have instead is that snowboarding pants are made w/ space and flex @ the knees and are wide enough for boots @ the ends. Any adjustment to "fit would have to made in choosing what size you planned on wearing. Hence if you wanted em "baggy" get em bigger etc...

Being a newer sled you should be able to find an accessory wire that is not being used or tap into the heated grips or thumb warmer if you have them.

Put back in place...use a touch os CNA/superglue to keep them locked in

If the back of the helemt has a bungee strap you have to pull really hard to get it out. Its a pain. if its just a clip slide it under (you probably know that but hey some people...). Hope this helps you!!!

I have a helmet and I don't need a hat under it. The helmet is quite warm. They also usually have vents to open for those warmer days.

These in-ear monitors would probably work really well with a helmet - there is just a couple of things to think about. This type of earphone really seals the ear and blocks out other sounds which is good for critical listening but you might not be able to hear the noob sliding into your back as he screams down the hill. Also is the problem with how hard snowboarding is on everything when you crash - one good yard sale and those $100+ earphones (or the wires going to them) could easily be crunched. I would say spend the same amount of money on a helmet with speakers built in and leave the volume at a moderate level and avoid the possible problems. Good Luck

"Snowboarding and Skiing Helmet Safety Standards Snowboarding Helmets should have a CE, ASTM or Snell RS-98 certification. ASTM standards have been determined by a series of tests on helmet models, including testing the strength of a helmet's retention system under simulated hot, cold, and wet conditions. "

" * Put on Snowboarding Socks or at least the thick socks that you would wear when you'll go Snowboarding. Do not try your Boots with regular socks. You might think it's irrelevant, but the added thickness of the socks matter a lot when it comes to the size and fit of your Snowboard Boots. Still, some people have strange misconceptions about socks. One of which is that you have to wear more than one pair of socks. This is certainly wrong since Snowboard Boots should fit snugly. It is all right if toes are grazing the ends of your boots, but make sure they aren't jammed. After all, when the boots break in a little they will feel more comfortable. * Loosen the outer (and inner if available) laces of the Snowboard Boot and insert your foot. Make sure the heel of your foot is locked in the heel of the boot. * Tighten the inner lacing first (again if available). Make it pretty tight but make sure your feet can still breathe and you don't cut off circulation. Next, tighten the outer lacing, again pretty tight, without killing your feet. * Walk around a bit and get a feeling for how well the Snowboard Boots are strapped around your feet. Make sure you don't feel any isolated, painful or stressful areas. * Now the most important test: strap into (or step into) a binding attached to a snowboard. Take on a riding position and move your weight to the front and the back of the board. Be sure the boots are securely keeping your feet on their place. Also, make certain that they are not slipping to the back or front, and that you are not experiencing painful or stressful areas on your feet. The Snowboarding Boots should make you feel both comfortable and securely strapped-in at the same time. * Lean forward. When you do this, make sure that your heel is not lifted, but that the entire boot, binding and board are making the forward move without your heel slipping out of the heel of the Snowboard Boot. If you do experience heel lift, your boot tech can add some fit aids like an Eliminator Tongue to reduce volume and increase responsiveness. This will also ensure that your heel is not slipping out of the boot. * When you try on Snowboarding Boots, take into account that as you use the boots more often, the inner bladder will get less compact because of the pressure that the bladder will be exposed to. Consequently, the Snowboard boots will become less tight as you use it more. Try to anticipate this trend by buying boots that are slightly tight. After the boots break in a little they will feel a lot better. Snowboard Boots come in all regular shoe sizes. Still, keep track of how different boots of similar sizes can vary in the way they hold your feet and ankles. Don't Buy Snowboard Boots because the internet or your friend says its cool, or your favorite rider has his/her name on it. What may feel good to one person may be excruciatingly painful to someone else. Make sure to try on many boots and only buy one that you are 100% sure of. Quality Snowboard Boots can last long, so you will want to put in more time and spend some money on this. Regardless of the Type of Snowboard Boots you intend to wear, choose the pair that fit your feet best. After all, you wouldn't want to be out of control and in pain when you ride down the slopes."
