Helmets again

[Zebb]

I never use to wear a helmet because I hate the look and feel of them....but deep down knew I should. I looked at getting a snow boarding helmet but was warned about the lack of decent ventalation as they are designed for cold weather. In the end I bought an Urge Enduro....and I love it. One small thing though, the front vent holes let cold air hit your head so I cut some foam and filled them in for the winter, leaving the back vents open to let heat out. I have no problem wearing a helmet now.

I would have expected a more informed post from a seller, recent tests have found a bike helmet will help even in a collision with a car, It is designed for its use.
I suspect a ski helmet might not get worn in hot weather due to lack of ventilation.

Just because the test standard is different, it doesn't mean that the helmets are different. As far as I can see the construction of each type is identical and they use the same materials. They're probably made in the same factories with the same methods. Most of the protection comes from a simple expanded polystyrene moulding that has a thin plastic shell to make it look nice and resist puncturing.The snowboarding helmets wrap round more, so give better protection, plus, you don't have those stupid protrusions front and rear that knock your helmet off your head in a crash. I know which one I feel safer with!

Agreed, I don't think there was any suggestion otherwise! The post I found indicates that they are more or less the same.

Yes. Sorry. I wasn't meaning to imply that you'd got anything wrong. I was just trying to clarify the point in case somebody else derived the wrong conclusion in my usual blunt untactful way.

EDIT: I think it may be Ribcap. If not that, something similar anyway.
