Maybe it's not as heavy as I think it is - I've never had another helmet so I have no frame of reference. Maybe I should just try and get used to it! I think mine is also a Pro-Tec.

I just wish my helmet didn't feel like it wieghs20 lbs. Maybe then I'd actually wear it. Since snowboarding is a non-contact sport, I’m all for the protective equipment.

Fortunately I'm not a beginner anymore, but I do remember the days of the sore butt syndrome ;) Nowadays it is incredible the technology they have for protective gear. Basically hockey gear now. Full on lower body protection, shoulder protection. You name it. I don’t know why, but all my snowboarding injuries seem to be neck injuries… falling face first or impact from a bad fall backwards.

It seems as people protect themselves more they think they can do bigger stuff... then they hurt themself. Butt padding?!?!?? please...
