Head injuries while ski and snowboarding are the leading cause of death on slopes. Wearing a helmet cut that risk by up to 50%. A helmet can make the difference between walking off the mountain or not.

HELMET SAFETY STANDARDS

Standards matter: ASTM and CE/EN certifications ensure the helmet meets rigorous impact and quality tests, MIPS helps reduce rotational forces during angled impacts, and ERT provides shock absorption for ALL impact types.

is essential for safety and comfort. A helmet that

is too loose will not provide adequate protection. Too tight and your head will hurt.
