I hate the gaper gap. I really do hate it. I hate it when people have it cluelessly, and I hate when people purposely wear it like that.

Oh yeah, It's real cool. Until you rock it in -20 degree weather and have a frostbite patch across your forehead. Hey, maybe the frostbite patch will be the new goggle tan.

forsure. its lame nomatter if its conscious or not, so.. no! and the fact you are asking if something is "cool" or not is kinda sad. think for yourself, its cooler than asking whats cool. cool?

besides the fact that "cool" is in your own context, and everyones version of "cool" differs,.......

ITS A GAPER GAP!!!!!!

i for one am tired of freeskiers getting helmets and then putting a beanie under them so they ride up 4 inches. what happened to a nice goggle/helmet fitting setup?

I don't do it myself, but if you mean to do it and wear a beanie also then I don't think it is the worst thing ever, without a hat if you do it you look retarded.

i think 2" and under is alright, but only if it fits better that way AND if your wearing a hat under it. Mike hornbeck is the excepting becuase he slays so hard you wanna rock it that way

Just thing about this, I don't do it. So it isn't cool. That's all you should need to know.
Point and case, I had a small gap one time by accident, and when it occurred I got mad chapped lips. Coincidence? (probably) No! Don't do the gap.

Only if you do it right. You have to be wearing a beanie and make it look like you did it on purpose.

well it obviously LOOKS like the shit, but my question, does the helmet really do much when it's sitting on your head in a way it wasn't designed for.?

I hate to be all mature and grown-up, but if you have that much of a gap it means you aren't wearing your helmet correctly and it will not protect you like intended. But it is probably better than not wearing one.

Whatever makes you happy. But it seems silly to wear a helmet in such a way it won't help you in a fall.

From what I've been told it's worse. The back edge of the helmet may line up right on a veter bra and hogan leg drop you into a wheel chair, also if it's loose enough you may be just lining your skull up to slap on basically a hard piece of plastic that's supposed protect you.

Rock whats your style man, don't be asking other people whats cool and whats not. It's up to the individual to choose their being, societies norms should't make an individual who they are.
