How to choose your ski helmet in the sale?

Measure your head circumference

The size of a ski helmet is based on your head circumference, measured in centimetres with a tape measure. Place the tape just above your eyebrows and ears, at the widest part of your head. Each brand has its own size chart, so always check the product page before ordering.

• If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one and adjust with the integrated adjustment system
• A well-fitted helmet should not move when you shake your head, but should not squeeze your temples either

Select the key features

Beyond size, several technical features are worth considering:

• MIPS technology: an internal slip-plane system (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) that reduces rotational forces transmitted to the brain during an angled impact. Increasingly found on mid- and high-end models from POC, Smith, K2, or Salomon
• Ventilation: adjustable vents allow you to manage heat on the ascent and close them in cold weather. Essential for active skiers or those skiing in very changeable temperatures
• Goggle compatibility: check that your ski goggles fit properly with your chosen helmet. Most brands offer bundles (helmet + matching goggles) to avoid compatibility issues
• Adjustment system: rear dial (Boa or dial system) to adjust the fit in seconds, even with gloves on. More convenient and precise than strap adjustment
• Weight: a lightweight helmet puts less strain on your neck during a long day on the slopes. Premium In-Mold shell models (outer shell and foam fused together) are generally lighter than classic ABS models

Visor helmets vs non-visor helmets

This is one of the most common questions when choosing a ski helmet.

The visor helmet has a built-in shield that replaces traditional goggles. Advantages: no compatibility issues, no fogging between helmet and goggles, streamlined look.

The non-visor helmet is the classic setup, with separate goggles. More flexible: you can change goggles depending on the light, use photochromic goggles (which automatically adapt to light intensity), or simply keep your current goggles. This is the choice of most skiers.

• Choose a visor helmet: if you want an all-in-one, simple solution
• Choose a classic helmet: if you want to pick your own goggles or often ski in changing light conditions

Back protectors on sale
