FD2099 0 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Helmets are super cool. They`re a bit of a fashion accessory, which isn`t a bad thing in this case. If they look `cool`, more people will wear them. This is especially so in Japan where being stylish on the slopes is a must! Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I did some stylish people at Maiko wearing bome-domes. I'd rather be safe than sorry. If you don't agree, then I don't care. Link to post Share on other sites
surfarthur 22 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I also wear a helmet, but if fashion is your primary concern when you decide to wear a helmet, then I think you are missing the point. Also, I really don't think that being stylish on the slopes in Japan is that important, especially when you see plenty of Japanese wearing 20 year old one piece ski suits, that was the part that I was laughing about most.

Thundercat 60 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 All this talk of helmets offering protection is missing the point of how easily they can be used as weapons. I keep mine on even off the slopes in case someone talks back to me in line at the conbini or to clear a path in a crowded bar. Watch out all you dudes who sport toques! I'm gunning for ya!

Hmm well it kind of is, among the young. Perhaps not amount middle aged and old dudes who are the ones wearing 20 year old one piece ski suits. Doubt you'd see many teens wearing 20 year old one pieces! Link to post Share on other sites
surfarthur 22 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Most of the teens I have seen in Japan have been in school groups, wearing identical clothing and numbered bibs, and nary a cool helmet to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites

Hah. No, but maybe I should... But really, you do see all the pimped out, stickered up helmets. Those kids go to a lot of trouble for a reason... I think people should wear full-face helmets, like BMX ones. I think they look badass. Haha... Link to post Share on other sites
