Comfortable fit!
This helmet was super comfortable! I was really happy with how much I could adjust the fit. It also kept my ears very warm throughout the night of snowboarding.

Asian Fit! good for wider heads
This helmet is a great alternative to the "Asian Fit" helmets from expensive brands like Smith and Oakley. What is Asian Fit? It simply means that the helmet shape is more circular rather than a narrow oval. It's wider ear-to-ear so the width almost matches the front-to-back length. So if your head shape is more like Charlie Brown's, then 'Asian Fit' may help you get a more comfortable helmet to wear all day.My 12 year old has a big round noggin and he always complained that most ski helmets squeezed his ears. The issue is that he has a very round head and most helmets are too narrow.When he just started skiing as a toddler, he used a Bauer lil sport helmet that was designed for hockey but also rate for skiing. I also had him in ice hockey and we went through a bunch of hockey helmets that were too narrow. The Lil Sport is ROUND and fits a wider head.Of course he outgrew that and over the years we have always had to make sure to try helmets in stores to get a good fit. In desperation, I once bought a helmet that was only a little tight but he thought he could live with. By the end of a full day skiing, his ears were really irritated. My lesson: anything that slightly irritates you in the store for 10 minutes will drive you nuts after 7 or 8 hours on the ski slopes.Internet purchasing was really dicey because most helmets are much longer front-to-back than they are wide ear-to-ear. But for the Wildhorn Drift, I read in one of the reviews that this helmet was good for a wider head and after eyeballing the product photos and deciding that it was indeed shaped rounder and wider, I chanced the purchase through Amazon.Not only is my kid's head round but its big for his age so after measuring his head as instructed, I purchased an Adult medium. It turns out to be a great fit. No issues with squeezing the ears after multiple long days on the slopes.The helmet is well built, comfortable, has good airflow control, a snap holder for the goggle strap, and looks good. No complaints... in fact compliments from my kid! As my 12-yr old now follows me down black diamond slopes, I feel confident that this helmet will provide strong protection for his head. This is a good purchase - especially if you are looking for a rounder "Asian Fit" shaped helmet.

Good helmet and support
Looks great, feels great. I'm a smaller dude at 5'7" and Medium seems perfect with room for the Wildhorn Alta headphones (that's a separate review).I also ordered their Roca goggles directly from their website. One of the lenses came scratched, but support was very responsive and is quick on sending a replacement.

4 1/2 star helmet for me.
Great helmet all in all. I love the ear pockets and the capability of being able to use small audio speakers that fit very nicely inside. This helmet with a liner keeps your head very warm. Even with the vents open. This is a quality helmet. Amazon doesnt allow half star ratings. I give this 4 1/2 as mentioned above. And it's not due to quality. I want to see more adjustment out of the knob in the back of the helmet and here is why. Some times people utilize a baklava. Mainly for the neck area. But it goes over your head too. In my case as an adult I can wear one with a large helmet. And even a nice thick one. The helmet fits perfect still because of adjustability in the back. If it's a 32 degree day I dont need that baklava. By not wearing one the helmet is then a tiny bit loose. If I had twice as much adjustability out of the knob in the back I could adjust it up more. But I cant. It's not so loose that it's pointless to then wear. But it is a little on the loose side. Again this isnt really a quality issue. It's simply a head size thing. Maybe the medium instead of the large would work. I'm not sure. That's why internet purchasing can be difficult. Because you cant trying before you buy it. Likely it could be returned for a different size. But that has to happen before you take it up to the mountain and give it a try. So at first you may not know you have this problem.It is a nice helmet.
