He likes hard ear helmets. He was wearing a OSBE Proton Sr. helmet in that picture. Melted his Giro in front of the fire place at Vail that year.

His current helmet is a black OSBE Daytona hard ear. He uses a Smith IO/7 google with it rather than the shield. He has like 6 shields in the house. His choice.

I liked the look of Wayne Wong in his chrome Osbe.

How about that. People use common sense and make good decisions. They don't need to be told what to do.

I always wonder to myself when I see a resort skier--particularly one with several $K in gear, that chooses to go without a helmet. It seems like such an easy thing to add to your ski experience.

Speaking as someone who had an epidural hematoma (bad news inside your head). Wear a helmet.
