Nov 27, 2001 1:17 PM | | ...that was given to me by Gerg Herbold at the Dear Valley NCS but I've never seen them for sale. They've got to sell them somewhere though... |
| Hope it matches yer outfit | JimC
Nov 27, 2001 1:45 PM | | how could I resist? AAHahahahahahah, sorry, K. Jim :o))) |
| I love the one with ears! | kristian
Nov 27, 2001 1:58 PM | | I have a cap like that that I skied in for years (although it was tan and brown instead of rainbow colored) but it finally got retired when I started skiing with the brain bucket. Gotta love a nice touque! (is that spelled correctly?) |
| Bzzztttt. No Cee-gar... | JimC
Nov 27, 2001 2:13 PM | | but close enough. Toque, I think, now that I look at it I'm not sure.
Brain bucket for skiing? hmn, seems a fad. In all the years I've been skiing I've only smashed my head 10+ times. Hmn, maybe there's a message there? I'll check with my skiing bud, Sonny Bon, oh, wait....

Nov 27, 2001 2:42 PM | | ...until four seasons ago when I was skiing Berthoud Pass and I clipped a branch with my noggen. It ripped the aforementioned ski toque of my head and left a small gash. I had two thoughts--damn that was lucky--and--I would never mountain bike through the trees like this without a helmet so what am I doing skiing without one? I bought a helmet the next day.
I love it for tree bashing (I actually brush branches away with my head now instead of trying to cower benieth them) but I thought it would be overkill for skiing the groomers. And then I had a particularly spectacular wipeout at the bottom of Keystone where I realized that the helmet had just saved me from a two and a half hour drive home with a splitting headache.
Oddly enough, a disproportionatly high percentage of the skiers who were killed last year in Colorado WERE wearing helmets. I think this is because "risk takers" are more likely to be wearing helmets than normal people. Still, it's something to think about... |
| You're both wrong | radair
Nov 28, 2001 10:45 AM | | It's "toke", but remember, it can affect your judgement.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
MTB content: I wore by biking helmet backcountry skiing last winter (trees are tight here in the east). |

Nov 27, 2001 4:09 PM | | Call up Titec in Milpitas CA. I think
that City is right. They were in Sunnyvale
but moved. Anyway, I have a beanie made
by them that is cool. Front say's Titec,back
say's Hellbent. As a bonus you can use
it like a beanie or pull it down over
your face and down to your neck for super
cold rides. Only your eyes and a small
breathing hole for your nose are exposed.
Just like you were robbin a bank mask but
warm. If it's not on there site be sure to
call and ask them. I'm Out.
