Hi all,

last week I bought a Shredready composite helmet designed for
wakeboarding, kitesurfing, kayaking.
According to my local dealer I can use it for Snowboarding, too.

- Does anybody know if this is right ? Are there big technical
difference between helmets for whitewater sports and helmets for
snowboarding / skiing ?

Whitewater helmets are not designed to keep snow out, and are designed
for low speed hits. Neither applies.
