Is The Color Black On The Ski Slopes Cool Or Tacky?

You deserve a pat on the back if you have decided that you like your brain enough to protect it with a ski helmet. It was not easy to decide which one to get, was it? Most people spend a long time comparing helmets before they decide on which one to buy.

If you are the practical type, price and quality were your first priority. There are safety standards that apply to all protective headgear, but even so, they all have different features. You had to balance quality with price and that is never easy.

You probably spent even more time agonizing over the look of your helmet than you did over its effectiveness. The aerodynamic features were only one of your considerations. In fact, the wind sheer factor probably took a distant second place to the cool look of an aerodynamically designed helmet.

With those decisions out of the way, you turned your attention to the color of your helmet. You knew the color had nothing to do with how well the helmet worked, but that did not stop you from spending at least as much time thinking about color as you spent thinking about the other stuff.

Strange thoughts probably came into your head regarding color. Would a red one be too radical looking? Would a steel grey one stand out enough? Would it go with the rest of your ski outfit? You probably even wondered if it would clash with your black sport watch or if that even mattered.

In the end, the one you came back to again and again was the black helmet. The only thing that held you back was its color. You identify black with Darth Vader and the Gothic look and neither of those suits your personality. Still it looks so very cool!

No worries! That black one is not going to make people think you’re a Goth or a Star Wars geek. Just avoid wearing all black and you will be okay. If you have a white or colored ski parka and pants, they will stand out more than your helmet. You can safely wear black boots with your helmet, too. Just don’t wear all black.

Black can be either cool or tacky depending on how you use it. As a rule of thumb, wearing all of any color from head to foot is usually tacky. One exception to that rule might be white, but wearing all white on the ski slopes has its disadvantages. For one thing, people might mistake you for a Ninja assassin. For another, if you get lost or have an accident, nobody will be able to see you. Wear something that contrasts with the color of the snow.
