Anyone in Vancouver know any retailers that stock this helmet? It looks pretty nice and the technology sounds very impressive.

Also how heavy is it compared to something like a smith holt? I'm looking to replace my holt because it doesnt cover quite enough of the back portion of your head and if you tilt it backwards you have nothing in the front.

How is the fit also, compared to the holt? The foam looks a bit thicker so I was wondering how low profile it is; nobody likes helmets that makes their head look big.
 
skiis and bikes has it as well as westcoast sports, donno about the weight compared to a holt but its definatley lighter than it looks
 
Also (why is there no edit function?) I have a slight dilemma between 2 types of goggles. I borrowed friend's EG2 and the oversized lens is really awesome. There's no frame in the way and I have to look hard up and hard to the side before I can see the frame which is really sweet.

But there's also the interchangeable goggles like the smith i/o and oakley airbrake which are appealing too; just without that super huge vision. I tried on the i/o's at a local store and the frame is definitely in your field of view. Just not sure if the interchangeability is worth that wide field of view.
 
Where does it say that westcoastsports has it? I can't quite find it on their site.

Also, how come skiis and bikes sells the helmet for an arm and a leg while other US online stores has it for ~$100?
 
Nice, thanks; though I don't think Im headed up to whistler any time soon, I'll keep in mind to pick one up though if Im ever up there.
