Wildhorn Drift Snowboard & Ski Helmet - US Ski Team Official Supplier - Performance & Safety - w/Active Ventilation

This helmet did NOT disappoint. My first impression when I received it was it looked really awesome. Not only did it look good, it is also very comfortable, and super light, barely notice any weight on my head if not non at all. It fits real nice on my head(21.5 in or 54.5 cm), specially because it also has a fine tune fitment knob for better fit. The size that I got is a medium. It already saved my head from a head first dive, and I tell you this, I did not feel a thing. Overall, this helmet is very well made and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it when looking for comfort, look, safety, and best of all, it fits the budget.

I love my new Drift Helmet! I hope to be snowboarding a lot this season, and it's important to wear the appropriate protection. Having said that, there are a lot of helmet out there that are way too bulky or get in the way of ski goggles. This Drift Helmet is very comfortable. I have a fairly large head (often wearing ball caps at their widest setting), but I got the large and this helmet fits me great. I got it in Stone Gray. It's a little bit lighter in color than I imagined it would be, but it looks super cool. WildHorn does a great job designing products that aren't too flashy but have just enough styling elements and in the right colors to look really nice. The close-able vents and removable ear pads make this helmet extremely versatile as it can be comfortably used on freezing cold or warm spring days. Of especial importance is the sturdiness of this helmet. It feels like it will hold up well for its primary purpose. On the off chance that I take a fall and hit my head, I trust that the Drift Helmet will provide the proper protection for my noggin. Overall, I am psyched about this helmet's lightweight low profile and slick looks.

Great helmet all in all. I love the ear pockets and the capability of being able to use small audio speakers that fit very nicely inside. This helmet with a liner keeps your head very warm. Even with the vents open. This is a quality helmet. Amazon doesnt allow half star ratings. I give this 4 1/2 as mentioned above. And it's not due to quality. I want to see more adjustment out of the knob in the back of the helmet and here is why. Some times people utilize a baklava. Mainly for the neck area. But it goes over your head too. In my case as an adult I can wear one with a large helmet. And even a nice thick one. The helmet fits perfect still because of adjustability in the back. If it's a 32 degree day I dont need that baklava. By not wearing one the helmet is then a tiny bit loose. If I had twice as much adjustability out of the knob in the back I could adjust it up more. But I cant. It's not so loose that it's pointless to then wear. But it is a little on the loose side. Again this isnt really a quality issue. It's simply a head size thing. Maybe the medium instead of the large would work. I'm not sure. That's why internet purchasing can be difficult. Because you cant trying before you buy it. Likely it could be returned for a different size. But that has to happen before you take it up to the mountain and give it a try. So at first you may not know you have this problem.It is a nice helmet.

Very lightweight and looks cool. I had my cousin punch me in the head as hard as he could and it didn’t even hurt.

Updated Review:I've had this helmet for two years now (to the day! 🤯) and can report that it's a super solid helmet. I temporarily misplaced my "go to" Smith helmet last season and had to use this one for many sessions. It didn't disappoint. If you're looking for "pro"-level gear, you're probably willing to shell out TWICE as much cash for a much fancier helmet. Nevertheless, for the price, I think this helmet is a solid performer, so I'm updating my rating to 5 stars. Well done, Wildhorn. Looking forward to seeing what else you guys come up with!Original Review:I've lost track of how many helmets I have. I have helmets for all sorts of different activities; even multiple helmets for the same kind of activity! I'm by no means a helmet expert, but I think I can notice certain things that set a helmet apart from others. This is a solid mid-range helmet. It's definitely not in the same category as Smith or other high-end helmets, but if you don't want to pay $100+ for a helmet, this is a solid pick.Pros:Super lightweight (don't underestimate how important this is! If a helmet is too heavy/uncomfortable to wear, you just won't wear it!)Fits well (I was between sizes and sized up so I can wear a thin beanie underneath for warmth)Ear pieces cover my ears (will be nice on cold days) without being too tightVent, strap, and goggle holder are easy to operate, probably even with gloves on (untested as it's still OCTOBER :) )AffordableCons:Packaging is a little flimsy (not a big deal; it's a helmet, after all, and it ships in a beefy Amazon box anyway)Rear adjustment knob is a little loose - time will tell if the knob becomes loose after a day of riding. If it does, tightening it up takes all of five seconds.Materials seem like a little bit of a step down from high end helmets (to be expected at this price point)High end helmets have fancier safety features (like MIPS) that this one doesn't have.At the end of the day, this is a solid mid-range helmet. Great if you're trying to get some protection without breaking the bank and don't ski/board super aggressively.
