YOUR SNOW HELMET CAN BE YOUR ON-MOUNTAIN DISCO TOO<br />
The year is 2022, and by now most people have heeded the “gospel”<br />
of wearing a great helmet. We know quality helmets, with the latest<br />
safety technology (like MIPS), produced by a trusted helmet brand are<br />
keeping people safe and stylish all over the mountain. Their value isn’t<br />
news, but what may be surprising is finding out that most adult helmets<br />
have spaces to install audio drop-ins, and installation is easy!<br />
Over 20 helmet brands offer audio-ready compatibility allowing skiers<br />
and snowboarders to easily add a wireless system. These systems all<br />
provide Bluetooth audio and phone call capability with glove friendly<br />
controls. Phone calls on the mountain? Yes! The ear pad itself works as<br />
a wind noise dampener (or “DeadCat” in microphone parlance) so calls<br />
can be made on the blusteriest day.<br />
Installation is simple… just open each ear pad up and remove the<br />
pre-cut foam inserts. Not every helmet has clearly marked access so<br />
play around until you get it open. Smith provides a nice convenient<br />
zipper to access the internals. Some models, like the Oakley Mod 5,<br />
need extra foam removed so don’t be afraid to rip (or cut) out more to<br />
accommodate your audio system. Drop your audio kit in and enjoy the<br />
day with music in your lid!<br />
