I was not too impressed with six six ones design of this particular helmet. For the money I have seen lighter, flashier helmets on the market. Six six one has some great snow specific products, but this helmet definitely has room for improvement.

There are a lot of helmets from a lot of different companies these days, and this one ranks somewhere in the middle. Functionally it has all the components distinctive to a basic snow helmet; padding, air vents, visor and a styrofoam inner with a hard plastic shell. Some extra features include detachable ear covers and a removable washable interior.

The bullet helmet seemed a little bulky for my liking. I enjoy wearing a helmet you forget you are wearing. This was definitely the heaviest helmet I have ever used, and maybe you don’t notice it right away, but by the end of a day of riding my neck was sore from supporting the added ounces. Something else this helmet can improve on is to incorporate an MP3 compatible system into the ear covers. Nowadays, with more riders hitting the slopes with iPods in hand, this should be a standard feature.
