Head protection is provided by a ski helmet.
Ski headgear provide a combined purpose: first to afford security against knocks and shocks and secondly to insulate against the outside conditions.
In addition to furnishing protection, a ski helmet is specifically created with fashion in mind.
There are three common models of ski helmet: full-face, short shell and full shell.
Fashion is also provided through additional functions such as ski helmets with audio for listening to music. The Salomon Brigade helmet is a good example of a ski helmet with audio functionality.
It is vital that a ski helmet fits. Any movement could reduce the helmet’s protection.
The production of ski helmets is governed by several sets of safety regulations.
In general skiers and snowboarders who wear a ski helmets are around 30% less likely to suffer a head injury.
