Retrospec Zephyr Ski Helmet - Snowboard Helmet for Adults & Youth with Adjustable Fit, 9 Breathable Vents, Removable Washable Earmuffs - Snow Sports Helmet for Men & Women

This is a great helmet, and the price is so good. Much better value for money than the other name brands. It is comfortable and warm in the cold midwest winter. It also has functional vents that can be opened or closed (shown in video). The variety of colors is also great for matching with the rest of your gear. Would definitely recommend.

I was skeptical when ordering this helmet... after all, you don't really want to go cheap when protecting your head. The overall quality seems high, with no signs of cheap manufacturing, and padding was comparable to much more expensive helmets. The color was exactly as described and is designed well. Although sturdy, it was lightweight enough to be very comfortable to wear all day, for days on end. The helmet fit great, was very comfortable, and just as importantly, warm. It has a vent on the top to allow airflow, but can be closed if necessary. Padding usually holds moisture when it gets wet, but was happy to find that the helmet was dry every morning. This helmet was a great buy and I have no regrets. Would definitely buy again!

Great fit, haven’t used yet but seems to be really good quality at a great price.

I really want to love this helmet. It was such a good deal, I want to think I'm a genius for finding it and not spending 2x to 5x on another helmet. Alas, it has a few shortcomings that prevent it from being perfect. Here are the highlights. Read below for more details ***PROS*** Comfortable Stylish (to my tastes anyway) Feels well-made Value Warm- the earflaps keep cold air out of my ears, a big positive. ***CONS*** Goggle incompatibility Goggle strap holder not secure Right out of the box, this helmet seemed to fit well and felt snug, comfortable and warm. The tension adjuster at the back helps adjust the liner so it conforms to your head. I have a pretty average size head and little hair and the medium fit well. The construction felt pretty good- the materials seemed like they were high quality. I was extremely impressed for a helmet that I spent less than $24 on. The problems started when I tried on my goggles. The brow of the helmet sits pretty low and my goggles wouldn't fit on my face with the helmet on- they were pushed down too low by the helmet. See the picture showing the googles were actually on top of my nose! I tried another pair of smaller goggles and they were better, but still got pushed down hard enough that it pinched my nose closed making it harder to breath. I've only tried one other helmet and it didn't have this problem- my goggles fit fine with it. I really liked everything else about this helmet and didn't want to return it. I don't ski very often, and don't wear goggles all the time and therefore didn't want to invest lots of money in a helmet, so I decided to see if I could fix it. I figured if I could add some padding to the helmet so it sat up a little higher on my head, the goggles would fit better. I stuffed a folded up washcloth (what I had handy, some foam packing material would probably work better) underneath the liner at the top of the helmet. The liner is thick enough that I don't really notice the extra padding underneath. This is enough to push the brow of the helmet up so that the goggles now fit over my nose. They still pinch my nose slightly, so I might experiment with adding a tad more padding to push the brow up another couple mm. But, this is much better now and will work for days when I need my goggles. Maybe if I had a full head of hair, this wouldn't be a problem, but with my bald dome, I need some extra height. One other minor niggle- the hook that catches the elastic goggle strap is not secured to the helmet at all. If you unhook the elastic it will just fall off. That seems like a pretty obvious deficiency in the design. This also, is fixable. I superglued the hook to the helmet so it won't fall off and get lost when you unhook the strap. So, there you have it. The pricing on this helmet (if you can get it on sale) more than makes up for its shortcomings. Some easy modifications can overcome the biggest problems with it. Based on all of the above, I give it 4 stars.

I bought this helmet because I live in vicinity of ski resorts and my visitors would rather borrow a helmet than pack one, so this is becoming part of my loaner equipment. I purchased it because the price was about half of what I would normally expect to pay for a helmet. I held my breath wondering if it would be cheap, but it's not! It has really nice cushioning inside. I like the padding around the ears better than that of my expensive helmet! The interior is a very soft/silky velour that really feels nice against the side of your face and feels like it will be nice and warm. It has a dial adjustment for the head band and a cushioned pad on the chin strap. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase.

It’s a decent enough helmet, little bit heavy, but not to the extent that you’ll experience neck fatigue, the liner is micro fleece and comfortable, the fit system is a little bit cheap but does its job. The helmet has ear covers that are stiff plastic covered with some padding and liner material, they do not have pockets for speakers, and on the large size helmet are uncomfortably tight on the ears.

Very happy with this helmet. Adjustable head band. Vent slide is a little sticky but works. Removable ear pads.

Seems to be a really nice helmet. I have a large head and a large fits perfect. The adjuster in the back works great also.

Fits ok

A great quality helmet and I recommend. I'm a slim 6ft male with average head and the large fit well.

Helmet looks ok and fits not bad. Is adjustable. However I tried 6 different brands of goggles and they all do not sit well, constantly pushing on my nose. Bolle/Iris/Oakley/anon/smith/Scott. My whole bag full and all the same.

It looks cute at first glance but from the images in the gallery I wanted to get that light purple colour. It arrived looking baby pink. So now it won't match the rest of my gear. The ear muffs are also rock hard, so can't imagine that will be very comfortable...

Strange helmet....weird shape....kind of dome shape sticks up really high on your head...prob safe enough but looked and felt wrong...returned it process very efficient
