Red by Burton: Hi-Fi Helmet (Fall 07)

For those who place weight at a premium when choosing to purchase a helmet, the ultralight R.E.D. Hi-Fi Helmet is worthy of serious consideration. At only 13.8 oz. in size medium, it's R.E.D.'s lightest ski and snowboarding helmet. Some of the features found on other R.E.D. models have been stripped away, suggesting that the helmet may lack comfort. But this is far from the truth. The R.E.D. Hi-Fi Helmet is incredibly light, a comfort feature in its own right. And the interior lining provides just enough padding to make the wearer forget they're actually wearing a helmet. Quick Clip™ ear pads add warmth without affecting fit, and remove to provide greater ventilation upon warming up. Another option is to attach the Audex™ Audio Ear Pad Accessory, sold separately, in place of the Quick Clip™ ear pads for amazing sound that's iPod®, MP3, and CD player compatible. The R.E.D. Hi-Fi Helmet's multiple mesh covered vents allow full-time escape of moisture vapor, a real plus when climbing to the top of a backcountry couloir.
