Collection: Activities - Freeride - Ski Helmets

The helmet and goggles must fit well together

Freeride helmets are chosen based on their intended use and the shape of your head. A sporty name or an eye-catching design is no substitute for a proper fit. Try on the helmet with your ski goggles and a thin base layer hat designed for skiing. The helmet should stay securely in place when you move your head, while the goggles shouldn’t press uncomfortably against your nose or face.

Compare ski helmets based on fit and comfort

Check the strap routing, adjustment system, and whether you can reach the buckles while wearing gloves. The field of vision should also be tested during the fitting, especially when in a crouched skiing position. Information on specific protective technologies or intended uses must be clearly stated in the product description. Ventilation and inner padding affect comfort but do not provide a general indication of suitability for all types of terrain. Follow the instructions for inspection, cleaning, and replacement. After a significant impact, it’s important to assess the helmet according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, even if not every change is visible from the outside.

• Head shape: Can the model be adjusted to fit properly without causing uncomfortable pressure points?
• Goggles: Do the helmet rim and goggle frames work well together on your face?
• Usability: Can you reach the necessary fasteners while wearing gloves?
• Inspection: Do you know the guidelines regarding condition and, if necessary, replacement?
