Granted, I haven't been on the slopes in almost two years, but I can't imagine this has changed much.

There is very little customization of snow sport helmets in the Mid-Atlantic. Now and then, I'll see somebody with a few stickers on their bucket, but nothing like you'd see on motor cycle helmets or hockey goalie helmets. It's mostly plain black helmets.

A decade ago, I started wearing a helmet and one of the first things I did was customize it.

Now, I suppose being a Penn State alum makes it easy for me to customize. Nevertheless, I still encourage others.



Naturally, I do it for my hockey helmet, which I wear when I'm playing broomball, too:

Is anybody else out there going with a design on their helmet?

Mental hat had some pretty cool hat and helmet covers, but they seem to have fallen off the Earth. The website is down and supposedly being rebuilt to reopen later, but nothing lately. I was hoping they would have opened for black Friday, but no dice.

No one has new product from them either. Only ones I can find are used on eBay and Poshmark. I picked up 4 this season so far: the haywire, a jester cap, a monkey head and a raccoon. 😄

Hopefully they come back. Their products www pretty unique. I had their Rasta Rag and I was very easy to find out there.

Huh?

I think he meant Penn State's uniforms are... "elegant in their simplicity", shall we say?  And therefore easy to decorate. Add a blue stripe to a white helmet and presto!

(Some would call them "boring", but I grew up in State College and went to Penn State, I'll go with "elegant in their simplicity" as the description, because it sounds better :-))

Could be just a vent thing.  Today's helmets come with 1001 vents,  no real good area to place a sticker or whatever or folks just don't want to sticker a $200.00 helmet.  I like helmets with tons of stickers, does a few things....

What @MarkRebuck said

@Keith_Moon Heh. I'm so old, that I associate 11 with Danny White.

@Denvern61 - hadn't thought of the "localz only" vibe. Stickers on helmets aren't even that common it seems.

I poked around and saw some other helmets

• A Michigan Man appears to have paid $860(!) for a custom helmet from dbcustoms.com. They could saved about $840 going here https://www.protuffdecals.com/product/football-helmet-decals/helmet-stripes/die-cut-large-wings
  
• I'd be tempted to get these Skywalker decals for a helmet etsy.com
• Maverick from Top Gun etsy.com
