RED Trace vs. RED Hi-fi vs. Giro Encore

[teamsleep]

I've been using a skated helmet for awhile but i wanna buy an actual snow helmet. Which of these (trace, hifi, encore) will have the most low-profile look/doesn't look bulky? I tried on the pro-tec B2 but i hated how it looked so massive/goofy but i want a skate-style helmet.

thanks guys

trace

 

[fouldsys]

you can actually use it for snow and skate. it goes both ways.

trace

The trace is a combo helmet, meaning it can be used for skating and skiing. It has the standard skate comstruction.

I have the HIFI and its such a sick helmet, Its super light and it dosen't look huge.

I don't know anything about the giro, sorry.

i realy like my encore i dont think it looks to big and its a XL

 

[teamsleep]

ok so 3 for trace

anyone else?

 

[teamsleep]

yeah my heads pretty small so i only need a M

 

[drewishish]

R.E.D. helmets are sooooo round. i have one adn i look like a fuckin bobble head. but there comfy and get the job done. and fairly inexpensive.

 

[teamsleep]

which one is it?

 

[freeski1620]

a hi fi saved my life Saturday. im going to stay with it.

 

[RoLLLinDeep]

I had a hifi and liked it alot, then i got a encore and i love it and i have already taken some hard shots in it

i think they are both dope helmets

 

[617jibber]

encore is super heavy

 

[617jibber]

i suggest the hifi

 

[teamsleep]

which one do you think looks more compact

 

[617jibber]

the encore makes you look like you got giant dome piece

 

[RoLLLinDeep]

no it dosent ......its different for each persons head shape

 

[Skipig25]

all of them are good choices. I personally rock a g10, but I would wear any of these

 

[Dustin.]

the pros use the hifi for a reason, its baller and i love it

 

[SteezeNINE]

Boeri roller is a skate style helmet i got one and i have a hifi

 

[teamsleep]

which looks better?

 

[tjski]

hahah, u said it goes both ways..

...i have the hi-fi and it is light as fuck and a really nice helmet, i would get the audio if you can with the hi-fi or trace, its worth it.

 

[ilikeplants]

I have a trace that I love. I like it alot, its fairly light weight. I think next season I'm going to go with the bad lt. instead though.

 

[NFE]

I've broken 3 hifi's so ill never get one again

 

[Literature]

Protec Classic Skate, with Nine.Nine tuneups sewn into the chinstraps. Best combo ever.

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

hi-fis are soo fucking expensive though.

or at least in canada they are, there like 175$

 

[Reed.]

bc theyre one of the safest helmets out there

 

[rocktheLPs]

buy my bad lt.

 

[=nick=]

trace, here i am wearing mine size M, not bulky at all

 

[teamsleep]

hmm so after what i read i think its either at tos-up between the hi-fi and the trace.

 

[Jr-o-c]

hifi, lighter, stronger and better quality when it comes to snow.

 

[skiRay]

the hifi is more expensive. and the trace and the encore are pretty similar. but the trace is much lighter. i have the trace and i have a medium, but i alo like to wear earflap beanies under my helmet. it runs small, so get a siz larger if you wear hats under...

 

[teamsleep]

yeah i don't think ill get the encore

 

[teamsleep]

SO final question:

between the trace and the hifi which is smaller/compact (thinner foam/shell). Im guessing the trace but i want someone who have tried on both to clarify

 

[hollygrove]

smith holt?

it does the skate/snow thing too.

I like mine.

 

[teamsleep]

wow i just checked the holt out and it looks sick
