Go to the ski shop and get what fits the best. The little booger won't wear it if it's uncomfortable. A ski helmet isn't that sophisticated.

I've been skiing since I was about 7, but last year was the first time that I ever wore a helmet. I was sweating under it, but it didn't bother me a bit. It wasn't as horrible as I expected and it was nice to be warm for a change.

Boeri? May be a brand name to look at. I am not much help since I started skiing way back when bell bottoms were in fashion and a man had to know his limitations and when to push the envelope. I seldom did this while skiing, when I did I got a broken arm out of the deal.Cubco bindings ,wooden skiis and a 6 foot ramp on a black diamond slope= Orthopedic Surgery.

+1 on the fit. Make sure it fits well and you will never have an issue. As far as I am concerned, no helmet = no ski.

I like my Red by Burton - but that may be because it was the only one that I could get in a real XXL. Apparently they have smaller heads in Europe.

Go to a ski and board shop and try them on like one of the previous posters said.
