Why You Shouldn't Wear A Beanie Under Your Helmet

[@GMartin407]

Got my first set up at Peter Glenn in Orlando. Took it up with me to Minnesota and rode for years until moving back. That was 2010. Good to see you are doing well!

[@PeterGlennSports]

All is good, thanks! Hopefully you are still able to get to the mountains here and there each season!

Skiing in below zero. Highly recommend a balaclava or thin beanie under helmet. Makes my day much more enjoyble.

100%

Very helpful information for a beginner buying his first helmet. Thank you.

[@PeterGlennSports]

Glad it helped!

I’ve never had an issue with a beanie even with a thick one I’ve taken many hits to the head with the beanie under the helmet and bean fine so idk I think it’s fine as long as the helmet fits properly on the beanie and he helmet isn’t winging around with the beanie or the beanie is the reason it wiggles around

[@PeterGlennSports]

Hey if it aint broke don't fix it!

I have the AK helmet beanie with my anon merek. Ride in -20°C and haven’t been cold!

[@PeterGlennSports]

Glad you found a beanie that works!

i feel like there's a product opportunity for snowboard helmet makers here.

[@PeterGlennSports]

A lot of the helmet companies (Anon, Smith, Oakley, etc) do make "under helmet" beanies and balaclavas.

[@jplpagan]

@@PeterGlennSports i wear a balaclava pretty regularly, but I haven't seen the beanies yet.

Next do goggle under helmet 😊

[@PeterGlennSports]

@@snowboard_clips Haha, good suggestion. That one never mad any sense to me. Nothing says "comfort" like 2 pieces of plastic being shoved into the back of your head. 😆

[@LifetimeShred]

+1 for the thin balaclava. Plus gives you sun protection

[@PeterGlennSports]

For sure!!

[@susannazhong9389]

When I wear my helmet by itself it fits great, maybe 0.5cm space between the helmet and my forehead. Is this ok? Also, when I’m resting and I put my goggles on top of the helmet, the front part gets heavy and can fall down when I look down. Is this normal because of the extra weight the goggles added, or does it mean my helmet is too big?

[@PeterGlennSports]

Sounds like it might be too big, you want it as snug as possible without being uncomfortable. Check out this video for a better visual explanation-> How To Choose The Right Size Helmet kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqDRp4miptqYeJY

I took my liner out of my helmet and replaced it with the same thickness beanie. My MIPS helmet also has the BOA to adjust the tightness to a perfect fit. Is that still fine?

[@PeterGlennSports]

I still wouldn’t recommend it. The liner is part of the helmet and designed to work with the helmet, especially the MIPS system since it is directly connected to the liner in a very specific way.
