Bolle Snow Helmet - Nice Value, But Size Up December 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Bolle Shellmet Helmet is a very nice helmet. Considering the high cost of winter sports equipment, this was a no-brainer to pick up as an extra. Just be warned, it sizes somewhat tight. So if you are normally between medium and large, get the large. If most large helmets feel tight on you, the large size may be too tight for you.
All of the standard features of a good snowboard helmet are here. There are some nice air vents to keep your head cool, and good ear pads that can be removed on warmer days. Of course the front vents do not have sliding guards so they are always open, unlike some of the alternatives that let you close them on very cold days.
As for durability, only a full season's use will tell. One of my vents seemed out of alignment when I received it. There was a residue of glue around the edge of it. But I was able to remove the inner lining and line it back up. The rear goggle holder seems somewhat thin with a snap that comes open rather easily. But once again, these are minor gripes considering the cost.
One thing that was different from the product picture is that the surface of the helmet is a lot shinier than I thought it would be. It's reflective, which means it will scuff if handled rough. That's not a huge deal. There is an included cloth pouch for transporting and storing it, which is a nice extra.
The chin strap has an extra foam fabric so that this hurts a little less when snug to your face. It's adjustable so you can let it out a little if necessary.
The only other comment I will make is that mine came in a box that was either sitting in a warehouse for a few seasons or perhaps was just jostled about in shipment. No big deal, as the helmet inside was in perfect condition. Just a warning that they may be clearing out old stock.
This is a nice helmet, and given the price it's hard to nitpick too much. Definitely give this a try if the sizing works out for you.
Enjoy.
