I'm going snowboarding for spring break and need help deciding on the best helmet and attire. Like the best fits and any other feedback is helpful. This is also my first time snowboarding so if you have info. about that it would be appreciated.
Answer
Snowboard helmets are definitely different than other helmets. They are designed to take multiple impacts unlike bicycle helmets. They can come in a variety of safety ratings too - some are more strict than others. I've used a variety of helmets starting with the old hot and heavy ones back in 1994. I'm now required to wear one while out on the mountain.
These articles should help you in helmet selection. You are right to be concerned about helmet fit. If it doesn't fit or not worn properly - it doesn't do any good.

For snowboard clothing, wear something that is waterproof, windproof, and allows you to move around. Look at the clothing's wind and waterproof ratings. Depending upon the ski resort, you'll either need one that is warm or one that has zipper vents to let out the heat.

who makes the best motorcycle helmets?
deeeeeeeev
a friend of mine is buying a bike and i was wondering who makes the best quality, who was the first to make them and who is the number one?
Answer
You're gonna get grief over "this isn't the motorcycle section" but some of us ride both motorcycles and bicycles.
Best quality is Arai and Shoei, also Suomy, AGV, Shark
Bell was the first to make full face helmets many years back. And one of their dirt helmets saved my life so I'll give them a thumbs up but they aren't what they used to be.
Best value...KBC, Scorpion, HJC, lower end AGV and Suomy.
Don't buy anything that is not DOT approved, Snell ratings are usually on nicer lids but there has been some controversy lately if they protect better. There's a European rating that I can't remember right now that is good too.
