I bought a wooly hat with D30 for snowboarding, it's great in the car park you can 'stick the nut' on anything and feel nothing. Actually... it'd be ace in Glasgow on a saturday night.
I've yet to have a big crash in it but it's quite amusing in the car park. 'tis very chunky tho, I'm bald as a coot and it looks like I'm hiding dreads under it. I'd imagine the padding in gloves will be a helluva lot thinner.
