The MOD1 has been a favorite amongst park riders and skiers with style for years. This season Oakley introduced their revamped MOD1 Pro, which infuses the same sleek skate-inspired attitude with top-of-the-line safety features and updated amenities.
The MOD1 Pro will appeal to those looking for the coolest skiing or snowboarding helmet on the slopes. Removable earpads and nine solid color schemes to choose from assure you’ll be looking your best regardless of your aesthetic preferences.
On a more serious note, the MOD1 Pro steps up the technology and safety measures in a big way from its predecessor. The shell has been upgraded to an injection-molded Dura-Matter carapace with increased scratch and ding resistance, and they’ve also integrated MIPS rotational protection into the fit adjustment system.
If you throw in a few more improvements to comfort and accessibility, and you have a pretty admirable helmet that manages to keep things relatively compact.
