"to ski, snowboard and skate. It is a comfortable fit and well made. I think there are more current styles, but they cost a lot more. The quality is excellent. He has a big head and the xs fits. It is way too big for my 3 year old, so try a different style if you are looking for a small child."

"This is a great helmet for snowboarding and skiing. Our 9 yr old said it was very comfortable and we felt better knowing at least his head was protected as he came racing down the slopes. Loved the fact that I found it here for $20 cheaper than the clearance sale at a local outdoor store, same exact item."

"The product is even better than what I saw on the website. It is sturdy and well constructed. The ear padding is great and should withstand what one young boy is going to do to it.

Thanks for a great value !"
