Welcome Pret Helmets as Official Sponsor of Pugski Test Team

I’m in the Cirque X. It is the most comfortable and well thought out helmet I’ve used. The venting works perfectly with the slide adjustment. The magnetic chinstrap is genius. I’ve used Smith, Anon, Oakley and Zeal goggles with it. All fit well with no gap.

 

[Ron]

totally agree on the chinstrap. So simple and it works. No more fiddling around with he snaps.

I've had three Prêt helmets over the years and found all of them to be comfortable. That being said, the least comfortable for my head shape was the LyricX but still not enough to bother me. I currently wear the LuxeX which seems to be made for my head. I have a very oval head.

@UGASkiDawg and @DoryBreaux wear their Prêt Helmets every day. @dean_spirito wears his .....when he wears a helmet.

I am going check out the Shaman x which has a very slight visor to it.

That is the unisex version of the one I have. I like it but its very oval, so be aware of that when you fit your helmet.
I have the Outdoor Tech chips in my helmet and love it.

Thanks everykne. Now I just need to find a store that carries them so I can try them on!

Thanks Trish. Actually, although the Cynics fit me well, I have a more oval skull.

Can anyone compare the warmth of any of the Pret helmets to a Vantage? I already have some very well ventilated helmets, but I'd like one that is truly warm when the vents are closed. Shaved head...

 

[Ron]

yes, the vantage is a bit warmer especially in the ear flaps but honestly, through a ultralight beanie on and it will be even warmer and the beanie absorbs sweat better. for any cold day, I wear the beanie regardless of the helmet due to the comfort factor

I have a shaved head as well. The CirqueX has two front vents that let air in 24/7. I can feel the breeze on my scalp with the vents closed but not enough to bother me. If it’s real cold I wear a thin beanie.

I do wear a thin beanie, but I'd rather not have to wear one all the time. Which I currently do.

We will be post previewing the new 18 line tomorrow, post preview? Yeah, we saw them a few months ago...Of course colors along with some new models. Will report back when we can ad more info.

 

[Tricia]

FWIW, the LuxeX is warmer than the Lyric X.

I wore a CirqueX for the first time yesterday. I noticed that it let in more air along the side of the helmet than my K2 Stash. I think that can be fixed by reshaping the earpieces but I didn't think about it yesterday. I do notice a little pressure on my forehead so I'm guessing I have more of an oval head than round. It's not uncomfortable though. A little heat, a little punch...Just kidding!

I got a Cynic X at the beginning of the season, and I am really enjoying it so far. It fits well, is comfortable, and looks great. I appreciate that it has MIPS. On cold days, I do have to wear a balaclava because you can't close the helmet vents. That said, with a balaclava on it is nice and toasty.

Do you have issues with your goggles fogging? If i wear a balaclava and a helmet at the same time i can't see to walk let alone ski!

I do, but my goggles fog whether or not I'm wearing a balaclava. If it helps, my goggles are Smith I/O X.

I've noticed that my goggles get foggy quickly if both my mouth and nose are covered by a face mask.

 

[David]

I'm convinced that with a helmet the brim effectively closes off the goggles top vents and causes the fogging. Without a helmet I almost never fog unless I'm sweating and thete is no air movement. I also wear a Sirius neoprene mask that has holes to breath through and that helps a lot.
