Smith Holt ( Super Steeze to the max)
Bern Baker (Even though its not an official helmet it stil works)
Giro Shiv ( Had one and loved it, they fit really nice and light)
K2 Rant ( Looks sick and not everyone has one)

These are my favs

its not height and weight that determines helmet size

its head circumference

just measure your head and if your planning on wearing a beanie under it get one size up unless you barely fit that size.  Most helmet companies have different sizing so check each companies charts.

Capix makes pretty cool helmets and you can get them for like 40$

Go into a shop and try some on.  Give each one a long trial on your head.  You want a helmet which fits you so well that is feels like a hat, and does not bother you at all.  I would not order one you have not tried on first.

i would recomend the bern baker, its light, stylish, and you can get it for around 60 bucks at some sites, another helmet i recently found out about was the "Leedom Boss". it was the helmet that jossi wells wore at the x-games a few years back when he got silver in slopestyle and its a really steezy helmet with a low profle and a great look, plus you can get it really cheap for about $45 in L or XL at this site- http://www.snowshack.com/detail/SNW+LD-02144+CW+2XL_Leedom+LDM+Boss+Ski%2FSnowboard+Helmet
