Burton Red Trace helmet

[virtualdude]

Has anyone tried these? Given how cold the East Coast has been lately, I was figuring that maybe a snowboard helmet would help keep the noggin warm. I have a shaved head, so I lose a lot of heat through there and have sort of become accustomed to wearing a hat or something whenever it's cold.
At any rate, what looked cool is that these are constructed with snowboarding, skating, and biking in mind. I figure, if it's got skating in mind, then it's gotta be good for some noggin guarding!
Any one have one?

Here's a link in case anyone needs it, not that you do or anything...

Of course, I suppose I could just go for the whole head/face shield helmet, but seems overkill for a little freeriding...

We sell these at my shop and I've analyzed them and they seem fine, and even better than most skate helmets, for what we would be using them for it. I mean they're made to protect your noggin from trees, boxes, and rails going at speeds faster than most skateboarders go. I say go for it.

I use a RED Hifi for skating, usually with the earpieces removed. Seems just like a regular skate helmet, real nice.

SWEET!! I think I'll probably get one. Gotta check the $$ first though. I'm still thinking a full face might be good, but then I don't go very fast... We'll see..

On the other hand, there are SO many DEALS... Well, not enough time or money to get it all, right?
