There’s no question about it. Everyone needs a high-quality ski helmet to keep them safe while they’re tearing it up on the mountain. The industry has so many different options, but none of them can quite compare to Wildhorn’s design. We build our snow helmets with you in mind at some of the best factories in the world.
Still need some convincing? No worries. The rest of the blog will show you why some of the best athletes in the world choose Wilhorn as their equipment brand choice.
Why Do You Need a Ski Helmet?
The obvious answer is safety. Snow sports can be dangerous, and you need to do everything you can to ensure you won’t have any serious accidents. Snow sports are especially intense because they involve low temperatures, high speeds, dangerous obstacles, and other people in proximity. There is no way to ski in a “controlled environment.” However, with the right equipment, you can significantly reduce the risk of life-threatening injuries. The best ski helmets are more than just your typical bicycle headgear. Snow helmets are specifically designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions and protect your head from the kind of impacts you are most likely to experience on the slopes.
What Makes a Good Ski Helmet?
Every ski helmet you see on the market has passed at least one safety certification. But that doesn’t mean that all of them will give you the same level of protection, convenience, and comfort. Each company has its own features and improvements it wants to make to rise above the competition. Here are the features that all the best snow helmets should have:
- Ski Goggles Compatibility. Many experienced skiers prefer to have their goggles and helmets manufactured by the same company because it improves the fit of the snow goggles over the helmet. This is important for warmth and comfort purposes.
- Adjustable Fit. This is a no-brainer. Your goggles need to be able to fit your face. Nothing is worse than coming home after a long day of skiing without your goggles because they fell off or with permanent lines imprinted on your face.
- Ventilation. Airflow is very important for temperature regulation while you’re skiing. All the best ski helmets have a specific shape with holes to allow your scalp to breathe.
- Ear Pads. This feature helps keep your ears warm and protected. You don’t want them to be so bulky that you can’t hear, but they need to be functional. Good ear pads also have audio compatibility options
- Audio Compatible. As we just stated, the best snow helmets have audio compatibility options in their ear pads. Ski headphones are often flatter than regular ones, so they’ll fit under your helmet.
You’re in the right place if you want a helmet with the specs. Wildhorn’s ski helmets have all of the things stated above, and the individual lines have unique features that make them ideal for different situations. Now it’s time to dive deeper into what those are.
