TurboSke Ski Helmet Classic

I grew up skiing in the 80s and 90s when ski helmets were not common. I noticed little kids were starting to wear them in the 90s, but it was not a part of an adult's ski outfit unless you were doing some fairly risky back-country skiing. So I never wore a helmet while skiing. More than a decade passed since I had been skiing due to the limitations of my budget and living in NYC without a car, far from any slopes. I finally got a chance to hit the slopes this winter thanks to a holiday gift ski pass and some rare available time over the holidays and a family car I could borrow. While I was doing research to update my very out-of-date and worn ski gear for my trip, I noticed that adults seem to wear helmets now. I don't know if this is because the little kids I saw in the 90s grew up wearing ski helmets and they just kept wearing them as they got older because they were used to them, or if some widely publicized ski-related head injuries made people more aware of the dangers, but either way, it seemed like a good shift in ski culture toward better safety precautions, so I figured I should follow suit, especially since I was well aware of how out of practice I had become. I might not have bought a helmet, but I was lucky to have found a rebate offer for this helmet through Rebate Key, which was a great deal, so I decided to purchase this helmet instead of renting one with my ski rental. I was initially very worried that it would feel cumbersome skiing with a huge helmet on my head, since I was so unused to skiing with a helmet. But it was very comfortable when I tried it on at home, and after my first run on the slopes, I completely forgot I had it on. My goggles fit perfectly on it and stayed on with the clip at the back. And I really like the option of open or closed vents, depending on the conditions you're skiing in. The quality seems excellent. I would highly recommend this helmet to anyone looking for an affordable, comfortable, and attractive ski helmet option. I got a fantastic deal with the rebate, but even without the rebate, I think this helmet would have been completely worth the money. And often the rental shops will charge you extra for a helmet, so if you rent your skis or board, every time you bring your own helmet, you're saving money.

Looks nice . My husband has a bit of an egg shape head so we had to return for a bigger size !

Great quality

We bought our other helmets at a very high end ski shop in Breckenridge, Colorado. We needed an extra one for the grandkids but did not want to spend the $200+ that our others cost. This helmet is a fraction of that cost but quality wise, is almost their equal. I feel ripped off now that we got this one after paying so much more for the others. This helmet is a great deal and a great value. Very well made and stylish. Our little snowboarder loves it!

This is definitely a good/adequate helmet for a youth skier. We purchased two different brands (one for each of our older children) and this one had a slightly thinner feeling plastic shell than the other one, and slightly less dense padding, but we still felt satisfied with the quality overall. Our daughter wore it all day and it kept her safe, comfortable and warm. She is 8 with a head circumference measuring at roughly 52 cm. We purchased a medium and were happy with the fit. I appreciate that this will adjust with her for probably a few seasons.

We purchased this ski helmet for each of our kids. The fit is great, we love that it’s adjustable, so as they grow, the helmet will continue to fit. The size chart is accurate. It’s also a great price.

I love this helmet! I went skiing for the first time, and I didn’t want to stick my head in someone else’s helmet, but I didn’t want to spend a fortune, in case I didn’t like skiing. This helmet is perfect! The dial adjustment allowed me to fit it to my head. It kept my head and ears warm. It’s not too heavy. I would definitely recommend this product! I’ve already added a GoPro camera mount and a Bluetooth communicator to it!

Perfect ski helmet, looks cool and is warm. I took it up to aspen for a week and performed great with only a balaclava when it was between -6 and 32 degrees. I have a big head and it fit (had to return the other one I ordered because it was too small). I ski a few times a year and I think it would hold up enough times to pay for itself over a rental. It may pay to spend a little more on a premium brand if you plan on using it more than 10 times a year. Only complaint I have is the hook on the back doesn't hold the goggle strap all that great.

Great product

What nonsense!! delivered a used helmet!!! Hand written "TURNER" on rear of helmet. Sticker is so obvious that was peeled off and stuck back. What do you guys think we in Singapore are...stupid!!!

Very uncomfortable. The look rivals that of Rick Moranis in the movie Spaceballs. That's my opinion anyways. Lots of good reviews so maybe I'm the odd person out...
