Poll: Stickers on Helmets

[socalgal]

Stickers are currently very big in our household. I don't have a problem with them on others. But I thought I read somewhere that it'll ruin/void the warranty on helmets? I could be mistaken. I figure, if a sticker ruins the helmet, I have bigger things to worry about.

Not just for helmets....

 

[Nobody]

I have no stickers on my helmet. I am considering a new one, but in any case what I' like to do is to have it aerographed with some image, not of localities or sites I have traveled to/skied, but of something that represents my past.
Obviously I have no problem with others putting stickers on their helmets.
Now, this poll thread is about stickers on helmets and ski, so...sorry I do not have stickers on my helmet but...on my backpack yes!
How comes? It's easy, I use a rigid backpack from Boblbee (a swedish firm I think now defunct). Heavy as hell, particularly if/when I skin/walk my way up the mountain, but comfortable and...doubles as back protector (already tested)...

O, full confession, all my helmets do have this one, but it is of course an integral part of the ScotsSkier branding....

I also usually have my own Company logos on the side of the helmet but that is of course my sponsor.....

No stickers on my helmet, but lots on a pair of K2's that I think have hideous graphics. The stickers are better art. I look forward to adding a pugski sticker to those.

On a serious note, I worked for a safety company in a past life and this was a big issue on hardhats, climbing helmets, etc. because stickers can hide cracks in the helmet that cause it to fail in a fall or impact. Not as much of an issue for a ski helmet because of the use time, but just something to think about.

Ahh, thanks for the info! I always wondered.

What about a "This Side up" sticker?

What about a "This Side up" sticker?

That probably would have been a good idea based on some of the things I saw on job sites...

 

[socalgal]

Haikus or limericks anyone?


Unadorned helmet
Nondescript, lost in the crowd.
A Pugski stands out.


There once was a helmet quite plain
Who experienced quite the disdain:
All of the other cool kids,
Had stickers on their lids--
Please don’t keep her waiting in vain!

For a minute there, I thought it was "Pot stickers on helmets."

Wait... do you mean these?

Or these?

 

[x10003q]

My kids load up their helmets with stickers. As they get older they get more discerning about what they put on their helmets. My helmet remains stickerless.

If @Ron can put sardines on his helmet, why not pot-stickers? (The first kind).

Must be time for dinner.

maybe this

 

[KingGrump]

That is a 2 pot sticker.

 

[Philpug]

Dammit, now I want dumplings

I don't put them on my cars, skis or helmets. I don't care if you choose to. However, if you put stickers on your helmet and car, then it's my prerogative to judge you based on the content of said stickers.

Fair enough

Hopefully it's good judgement

 

[epicentre]

I'm definitely a minimalist. That said, I have no problem putting some stickers on my gear. Helps that since I work in a print shop I can pretty much design and print my own.

JUDGEMENT: I'd probably grab a beer with you

I sense an opportunity here...Do you take custom orders?
