How about the K2 ski helmet brand introduction

Snow helmets are the same product as cycling helmets in principle, but according to different application scenarios, different driving speeds, different trade-offs in coverage, weight and safety, so most snow helmet brands produce cycling helmets at the same time. K2 is one of the few brands that has been committed to snow sports, whether it is skis or poles, as long as it is snow sports equipment, K2 can provide a one-stop solution from head to toe.
 
In the product line, K2 is more focused on the low-end market, and the unit price of the product is not high, but most of the configurations that should be available are available, and the weight is also well controlled, which is not particularly brilliant and there is no big problem. In the case of the Virtue, for example, at $136, it weighs 425g in the mid-range, and the hybrid construction of the case at this price point is a highlight, and the adjustment system uses its own 360 K2Dialed, which is not as good as the Boa FS 360, but more practical than the Boa FS 180. Available in black and white.
 
The K2's helmets are generally the same as the Virtue's, with a non-distinct personality, with one exception, and that is the Route. At less than 330g, it is undoubtedly the lightest ski helmet, and even 20g lighter than Salomon's Range²C.AIRMIPS, which is partly due to the fact that the Virtue is not equipped with a MIPS system, which undoubtedly compromises the helmet's safety performance. Whether the weight of 20g is worth the relatively large compromise on safety is something worth discussing. The price is in the middle of the spectrum, $147.
 
Another mid-range snow helmet Diversion is also worth noting, its configuration and performance do not have too obvious shortcomings, but it is unbelievable that some batches of this helmet do not have goggle clips, and unfortunate users have mentioned this on major e-commerce platforms, so be sure to confirm with the seller whether the batch has goggle clips before buying.
