Although hat use has plummeted in years past, there are still some diehards refusing to give up the trusted toboggan for the brain bucket. Yet, while helmet use is a relative “no brainer,” people still argue for the taboggan and visa versa.

Here are the pros and cons of Hats vs. Helmets

Hats

Pros

• Easy to pack
• Cheaper
• More breathable
• Better for aprés

Pros

• They protect that 3rd grade reading level you’re so proud of
• Earbuds stay in place better
• “Send ready” (kind of…)
• Gaper gaps are better
• Helmet mounts allow skiers to “get the shot”

Cons

• Hard to pack
• They give skiers a false assurance of being “send ready”
• They suck to travel with
• Finding one the fits right

When it comes down to it– there’s nothing cooler than the backwards ball cap and goggles look. Thanks Dex!
