        I almost always wear a helmet anymore.  The feeling of safety is cool, but it is also dry, lightweight, and breathable.  I'm still liking Giro helmets the best!

          I have a Bern helmet and I love it. I also usually wear a helmet, due to you never know what can happen. Even on a bunny slope. The only time I don't is the transfer trail from one side to the other of the resort, but thats because there isn't anywhere to stash it at the bar.
