This helmet is very comfortable and I love all of its features. Paring with Anon goggles made for a fog free and perfect fit experience. I love the vents can be closed on a cold day and that the ear pads are audio compatible. I also really like that the BOA fit system is in the helmet shell. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend to others.

I was due to replace my helmet after some light hits and opted for the most current safety features. If you plan to wear anything thicker other than a light balaclava or beanie I would go with a larger size. My head circumference was in the middle of the medium size recommendation and with a light beanie I only needed one or two clicks on the boa system to get the right fit. The magnetic clasp is nice an convenient, and ventilation control is great. The ear pads are a bit thick, which muffles sound a bit, and I can’t imagine being able to hear anything if I added audio chips. The shape lines up really nicely with the Anon M3 goggles. I expected the green wavecel material to feel more fluid/ have give like silicone, but it’s actually still quite hard.

The price is steep, but I hope I never have to truly test its claims of increased protection.

Just got my order a couple days after I placed my order. The helmet looks amazing and fits great. This is my second helmet ever for snowboarding and I got sized correctly for a medium. Since I just got them haven't had a chance to put them in to action but they feel very sturdy and durable. Looking forward to the 22/23 season! YEWWWW

either my head is a really strange size/shape but 61cm should be a L and I had pressure points at front and back. Had to size up. great features and would have loved to keep this one but there are no more XLs in inventory.
Anon makes a high quality helmet. The new impact technology is cutting edge. Colors option are great and chin clasp is up to date. The helmet is a bit on the heavier side, and has an elongated shape in the back. These drawbacks give the unit an average score.
First off I love how easy it is to return products at altitude! This made it a no stress decision to order the wrong size, by accident that is. According to the sizing chart I believe medium was 57-59cm and when I measured my head it was 58cm. Ordered a medium, well the fit was tight, even with the boa loosened fully. I must have an odd shaped head, so the easy return process at altitude made it a simple procedure to return the medium and order a large, which fits perfectly!Haven’t had a chance to try it on the mountain yet but it looks like a seamless fit with my M3 goggles, limited to no head gap.
Pros: Looks better than most high end helmets. The adjustable vents are nice. Perfectly lined up with M4 & M4S goggles. And it probably saved me from stitches or worse the first day I wore a helmet.Cons: I've never found a helmet I don't complain about, so take this with a grain of salt. I want a helmet that feels like wearing a beanie + goggles, but I doubt that exists. Like every other helmet I've worn for various sports, it feels heavy and the suspension system's irritating.One thing I found annoying with this particular helmet is the glue attaching the Velcro for the "removable and washable" PolarTec liner and ear pads is incredibly weak. The Velcro buttons ripped off the first time I tried to remove it, and I was being as gentle as possible. Same thing ... MorePros: Looks better than most high end helmets.

I had 2 commotions while snowboarding. This new technology is awesome to help prevent them. Protect your brain. You only have one. Ventilation is perfect. Super light.
Comfortable, warm, fits goggles perfectly. Clip very easy to open. Easy adjustment to head size. Colour a bit boring. Saved me in the first hour of wearing it in a wipeout where I ended up backwards and upside down, on my head, at high speed on a red run. So glad I had this helmet on - protect head perfectly!
The helmet is great, all thought I've only worn it once on the mountain. The conditions I wore it under were snowy and cold and it worked well with my Anon Googles to prevent fogging up. I usually purchase a helmed larger than my true size because I wear something underneath to keep my head warm. It wasn't an issue with this helmet as the garment is fairly thin and didn't get in the way. My sore point is the helmet adjustment strap. This strap doesn't work as smooth with a single hand as it did on my old Giro.
Anon Merak WaveCel Helmet Black
The Merak WaveCel is fully loaded with 19 ventilation channels, WaveCel protection, and premium comfort and fit features in a durable hybrid molded construction. Anon's Merak WaveCel helmet pairs revolutionary WaveCel protection with the dual hybrid construction of the ding-resistant durability of an endure-shell on top and a featherweight in-mold construction on the bottom with 19 active ventilation channels. WaveCel is a collapsible cellular structure that lines the inside of the helmet and can reduce impact and rotational force by flexing to reduce initial force, crumpling to lower impact velocity, and gliding to help redirect energy away from the head. A 360° BOA Fit System offers a quick, micro-adjustable fit with the turn of a dial, and the Fidlock magnetic helmet strap buckle allows for easy one-hand operation, even with gloves. Close-to-Head Fit WaveCel helmets are designed to fit closer to the head, providing a snug, comfortable fit. Please refer to our sizing chart for accurate measurements. If you are in-between sizes, you may want to size up. WaveCel Technology WaveCel behaves like a network of hundreds of interconnected shock absorbers connecting your head and the outer shell of the helmet. WaveCel helps distribute the impact energy through its network of cells, reduces impact forces like the crumple zone of a car, and then helps divert rotational forces by flexing and gliding. 50/50 Hybrid Shell50/50 hybrid shell construction combines Endura -shell and in-mold shell constructions for wear-and-tear resistant durability and featherweight performance. Fidlock snap helmet buckle uses magnets to allow you to open and close the buckle with one hand even when wearing gloves. 360° BOA Fit System In-shell 360° BOA Fit System features a fit dial just below the helmet shell that provides micro adjustments in a complete halo around the wearer's head.
