Differences between a skateboarding and snowboarding helmets?
[2009-08-25 22:38:16]

Q: Is it really a big difference? can I use a skateboarding helmet n the snow?

A: I wouldn't recommend it. There is a reason why skateboard helmets are made the way they are, and why snow board helmets are made the way they are. The difference: protection on the danger level of the activity. Snowboarding has a lot more padding to cushion

No More Sweaty Towels
I sweat plenty when I work out, especially on my forehead. I always had to carry a towel with me and I didn't like that I had to interrupt my workout to wipe my brow. It was also not too hygienic to drape the sweaty towel over the machine. The Halo headband does a wonderful job of catching the sweat before it rolls down into your eyes. No more towels required! The Halo also looks great compared to those terrycloth bands that we all wore in the 80's. They come in several different colors to suit your needs and match your workout ensemble. Highly recommended.
Love them
I found these many years ago when I was doing Tae Kwon Do. They were perfect for keeping the perspiration out of my eyes. I needed to buy new ones as the others were used and washed so many times that the elastic was finally losing its stretch, but that took 5 years or more. I use them every day and recommend them highly.
Really works
These headbands really work in keeping sweat off your face. Very thin so it fits under your helmet. These last about as long as the old fashioned headbands - about a seasons worth here in California.
good product
does what it is supposed to, i thought the rubber drip line over the forehead might feel uncomfortable but not so. great for my arizona rides.
Great headband for exercising!
I needed a headband for the gym because well, I sweat. I cannot keep stretchy headbands on because they will slide off the back of my head. So I was a little skeptical about this headband, but I needed to try something. I'm happy to say that it stays in place! It is lightweight, comfortable and really truly does not slide out of place. I have two and am very happy with them.

Luv these
I have about 4 of these headbands and use them for cycling in the hot Texas summer. They do the job well and the silicone strip helps direct the sweat away from your eyes. They dry much more quickly than terry or cotton.
Functional
Great headband...tiny band of some kind of rubber runs along the front of the headband, helping to keep it secure and helping to keep the sweat out of your face.
Utterly useless
Played racquetball while wearing it and within 20 minutes sweat was pouring into my eyes. A simple cloth bandana works better.
Halo Head Band
This is an excellent product. I am an avid runner and use them all the time. Really keeps the sweat out of your eyes.
Halo Headband
I found out about the Halo headband on KK's cool tool blog. These headbands are great for keeping the sweat out of your eyes. That's what they do. I use mine for jogging and cutting the grass. I used to constantly wipe my eyes with my shirt - now I don't. my eyes would burn from sweat - now they don't. That's what the Halo does. They make a tie-on version and a standard pullover version. I prefer the tie on version after trying both, but that's just me. They are great for tennis, hiking, or any other sweaty endeavor.

googles
I don't think I got the right color or at least it wasn't what I thought it was, but it was probably my fault. Great service on your part and fast return and refund.

They sent me Junior goggles
I ordered these goggles for my husband for a ski trip because they are similar to another pair of bolle goggles I already had and that I like. The day before the trip, they arrived and they were kids goggles, although the online description, packing slip, etc. did not indicate junior size. I ended up having to pay way to much for a pair of goggles at the ski resort that aren't as nice at the ones from bolle because there was no time to return these and get the right size. It was probably a shipping mistake from Amazon, and I was able to return them for a full refund. But not in time to save money on goggles for our trip. The lesson, order yours with enough time before you leave in case of shipping errors. I still would reccomend bolle goggles though.
Not what i expected...
Im not an expert on ski goggles but I bought this pair before a skiing trip I just made...I like the yellow lenses but they pair just were a little too big...Not being very good on the slopes I need to look down a lot while Im skiing and with these you just cant do that...strictly straight ahead and thats it...I just felt a lot constricted by them so I wore them one time on the slope then packed them away in the locker.
Good snow sport goggle.
I bought one with clear lens for better visibility for late afternoon hours of skiing. I didn't use it yet, but it looks good and fits well.
goggles
These are cool and keep the snow off your eyes while you shovel snow in the unexpected blizzards. I'm sure you could use them to ski if you do that sort of thing.

About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

Fits true to size measurement--great little helmet
I measured my son's head and bought according to what the manufacturer recommended, and got a perfect fit. My son does not object to his helmet at all; on the contrary, he feels really cool in his flame-embellished titanium helmet. I was also surprised and happy to find a whole lot of stickers in the package with which to decorate the helmet. My little guy added extra flames and a robot to really make it feel "his." My daughter, as a bonus, loved the flower stickers in there and spiffed up her helmet as well just for fun.

It's a great looking helmet, with a comfortable fit and looks really safe, too. I'm very happy with my purchase!
Dora is a hit with my little explorer
I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get my daughter to wear a helmet for skiing, but the Dora helmet was an instant hit. She wanted to put it on right away. The adjustments for size are easy to make and this helmet should last us for a couple of years. (Hopefully she doesn't grow out of Dora first.) I have the Giro Richochet helmet for two of my kids and am pleased with them as they are adjustable for a snug fit. I also have a Boeri for my other son which seems very well made, but it is not adjustable.
