Bold of you to assume we're all just as boring as you are.
He's not boring. He has a go-pro mount on his helmet! That's even better than a sticker. ;)
Sorry, should have made an exception for Patagonia stickers. Or maybe for your local IPA brewery. Should have said to please feel free to express how exciting and unique you are by decorating your helmet and waterbottle with stickers. It's the tried-and-true method of standing out in the crowd by doing the same thing everyone else does.

I put a GoPro mount on my water bottle. Two birds, one stone.
Where do you live again? I feel like we keep coming back to you being a bit unable to see similarities in your actions and what your attacking.

Why do you care where he lives? And what does that matter? The dude has enough passion to put up with your and my BS, so who cares where he lives.

You must be furloughed brah...

What is my contradiction? The fact that I posted some helmet cam footie from the Alps or whatever nearly a decade ago, and then, in the middle of an informative response for helmet selection, mentioned to not load up said helmet with Backcountry.com stickers?
Or was it my inclusion of Patagonia and your local IPA brewery in the list of common stickers?

If you feel personally attacked by that, and are spoiling for a fight over it, I don't know what to tell you.

Back to semi on topic. I like the sirroco... it is sorta fragile but definitely protected my head once. Had to buy a new one after that. For cycling I like catlike helmets and for triathlon Rudy is nice. No idea what my ski helmet is but it’s probably outdated since I haven’t skied in like 8 years.

Fire, your sticker reminds me of this audio.
If a sticker could talk, I would put it on a water bottle for sure....

Name one that hasn't.
Hopefully my second post is actually informative and helpful to anyone who is looking for a helmet, sticker comments notwithstanding. ](*,)

You certainly do. Not that you have been doing it that long. I see you've moved on from dropping, "wooooowww" on the practice area freq. But you haven't moved on from d baggery. Go ahead, drop me another pm telling me how great you are because of your post count.

Yawn.

I can see a new dating site coming out of this.
Mountaineeringmingle.com
"Take your dating to new heights!"

But some people really should take up knitting, or un-twist their drawer of panties that have been bunched up for months. Keep their hands busy, and away from a keyboard. I'd say get out more, but even BEFORE covid that didn't help.
The risk I took was calculated, but I'm terrible at math.
