Snow and Ski Helmets
When you’re heading out for a long day on the slopes, make sure you grab your helmet. Snow and ski helmets are the first line of defense against injuries — both minor and more serious — regardless of your skill level at skiing or snowboarding.
Accidents happen, but when you’re outfitted with a high-quality snow or ski helmet, you have an extra layer of protection during wipe outs and collisions.
Why You Should Invest in a Quality Snow and Ski Helmet
While safety is the most obvious objective when it comes to wearing a helmet, there are a few other key benefits. Snow helmets help keep your head warm and preserve important body heat as you enjoy a variety of winter sports.
Most snowboarders and skiers rely on specialized goggles to protect their eyes from wind, cold, and bright conditions. Wearing a helmet helps keep your goggles securely in place and offers brim or visor protection from harsh UV rays.
Brightly colored helmets also make it easier for other skiers and snowboarders to see and identify you during a run.
Air Flow and Ventilation
Even in cold weather, it’s important to consider air flow and ventilation. Skiing and snowboarding can result in increased body heat and sweat, so a helmet with good ventilation will keep you more comfortable.
Check out impressive ventilation systems like the Passive Venting System by Spy Optics and the Air Flow Extraction System by Bolle when researching snow helmets. These systems vent heat away from your head while also preventing cold air from entering the helmet.
Sizing for All Ages
When selecting a helmet, finding the right fit is imperative. Whether you select a men’s, women’s, kid’s, or unisex helmet, pay attention to sizing information. Most helmets are sized in centimeters.

Key Safety Features
Durable ABS shells, energy absorbing ridges, and MIPS Brain Protection Systems are helpful in preventing traumatic brain injuries in a variety of directional impacts. As you shop for a helmet, look for these and other key safety features.
