Ski Helmets


The most important thing you can buy for your ski trip isn’t your winter jacket or your snowboard and ski’s, it is the helmet that you will wear as you take on the mountain. This might seem like common sense but you might be surprised at how many people think they are stronger than the ground. When you take a spill and you’re not wearing a helmet, you have a chance of permanently injuring yourself, so don’t take the risk and pick up a ski helmet.

There is nothing “dorky” about wearing a helmet and these same helmets look great and are comfortable. Ski helmets are categorized by their features and seasonality. Helmets for snowboarding and skiing are made for cold weather, to be comfortable, to keep your head warm and to be able to work with goggles. In addition, there are more multi-sport certified helmets with features that allow you to take a liner out so it can be used in the summertime. However, the fit and sizing are the most important features. If you helmet doesn’t fit right, it won’t protect you right so make sure of that.

All that being said, technology offers us a lot of options in terms of features and looks for these ski helmets. Because of this, we compiled this list of some of the best ski helmets of 2019. With a description and list of features we hope you feel more informed before you make your next purchase.
