Large selection of ski helmets at XSPO: The right helmets for skiing offer safety and protection
Ski helmets protect the athlete from injury in the event of a fall or contact with foreign objects. Wearing this protective headgear is mandatory for many winter sports.
Wearing ski helmets significantly reduces the risk of injury when skiing or snowboarding. More than 80% of all head injuries on the slopes can be avoided by wearing this protective equipment. The force of the impact is cushioned by the headgear. The athlete is also protected from falling stones or sharp objects, which are a particular source of injury when skiing in open terrain. Ski helmets have a hard outer shell that provides stability. The softer inner shell is deformable in the event of falls and collisions and absorbs the effect of the forces acting on impact. The risk of falls or collisions with other skiers is just as high for beginners as it is for experienced professionals.
Buying a ski helmet should therefore be a high priority. Particular attention should be paid to
- a high technical standard
- the right helmet size and fit
Ski helmets with or without a visor?
A distinction can be made between visor ski helmets and classic helmets without a visor. We offer a range of top brands such as ski helmets from Alpina, Head, Casco or Uvex with and without visor protection. The visor offers high wearing comfort, especially for spectacle wearers, as the visor fits perfectly over the goggles without unpleasant pressure points. The different versions of the Scheiben offer protection for the eyes and better vision in different weather conditions.
What is the MIPS?
Some models such as those from Bolle, Giro or Scott have the unique MIPS technology (Multi Directional Impact Protection System), which is designed to protect against impacts with different directions of movement/force. This means that the resulting rotational force is not transferred to the head, but is absorbed by the movement between the first and second shell.
Different model types for men, women and children
We also offer a large selection of different model types such as hard-shell helmets, half-shells, in-mould, ultra-light or hybrid helmets. Hard-shell models manage to distribute the impact energy over the entire helmet surface on impact. In most cases, the outer shell is made of carbon or hard plastic. The two-shell principle also has the advantage of integrating a ventilation system between the outer and inner shells. Both helmet parts are only glued together later using a complex process. With in-mould technology, both parts are welded together. Hybrid models offer the advantages of robust hard-shell helmets and the light weight of in-mould ski helmets. We also offer helmets with an integrated or compatible audio system for musical descents or for making phone calls to other skiers.
