Helmets: skate vs ski vs wakeboard

wakeboard helmets offer no protection at all like the bad luteninant, sk8 helmets offer protection but youll freeze in one and then most ski helmets offer protection i recomend R.E.D. or giror

The Shauwn White Helmet (by Burton) is a snowboard helmet (ski snowboard doesnt matter your falling on the same shit anyway) and by removing an insert it becomes a skate helmet.

as for wakeboarding. why do you need a helmet?

If you were touched by an angel call the police.

I have a protec one that does that too plus when your skiing u can buy new earpieces with headphones build in to em.

You can use a helmet wakeboarding when flying 30 feet high from a double up or hitting rails.

Screw this I'm going skiing

no no mainly because i saw a really sick looking wakeboarding helmet that i find is sicker than any ski or snowboard helmet, and there's no way i'm getting a bad leiu. and there's no way i'm going back to a classic r.e.d or something. there are some pretty rad skate helmets and one particular wake helmet.... so i've heard some pretty indecisive and loose answers... what's the deal..? so a wake helmet won't protect me at all, but a skate helmet will... but i'll be cold.. ?

alright this is how it works.

Skate/Wake/Waterwater - Im talking about the plastic shell ones with some foam paddling on the inside (like a Capix or Pro tec). The difference between a wake and skate helmet is the foam in the wake one will not absorb water, and will protect you just as well as a stake helm. And people wear helmets in wakeboarding because you can smoke your head on a rail.

Ski/Bike - These are foam compression (hard styrotype foam) helmets, that usually have a really thin layer of plastic around it. For Appearnce reasons, cause styrofoam don;t look all that hot. ie one big hit and they supposed to be replaced style (your giro 9, burton hi fi etc) These offer MORE protection then a skate/wake helmet, and will give more protection in a larger impact.

I got a Capix Wakecap that i plan to use for whitewater, and riding around doing urban stuff on my suspension bike, i figure it offers more protection then wearing nothing at all which is usually the case. I can use my Capix wakecap skiing, but they are most det don;t insulated your head alot so you'll have to wear a hat underneath to keep warm, and i have also heard that in really cold temperatures the plastic shell can crack under a little bit of pressure (it gets brital), because it really wasn;t made for below freezing temps.

But i have Burtin Hi fi helmet which will - keep my head warmer and protect me better, but maybe not look as dope.

I hope that made some sence
