Head Radar helmet

A BETTER COMBO

    We like the idea of visor helmets. No forehead-skin gap means no more ice-cream headache. But at best they give you the look of a fighter pilot and at worst, a total dork. Head takes a different tack to the same integrated helmet and goggles solution with the Radar and women’s Rachel. The goggles look like a regular double-lens bug eye, but instead of a strap it integrates into the helmet with bungee lines. Pull them out and away and the goggles slide off the face and lock into the helmet forehead in a little groove. They stay put and never pop off the back. Pull again and the goggles slide onto the face. The system is slick, never leaves a gap and looks like a regular helmet and goggles. Individually, the helmet is comfortable and easy to adjust, and the goggles brag excellent field of view and a comfortable fit. $349; head.com

Well maybe not quite, but the magazine’s Technical Editor has more than enough of both and can’t wait to test out whatever is coming next. When he’s not testing skis or writing the buyer’s guides, you can’t find him exploring his bumpy backyard on Vancouver Island. @ryan_adventures
