Skiing Helmets
Skiing can be quite a dangerous sport, so safety measures are very important.
In particular, there is a great risk of getting a head injury
in a fall, impact or collision - unless you wear a helmet.
A ski helmet can protect you from perhaps as much as 90%
of head injuries.
Of course there is a wide choice of ski helmets available in
the market, so you will have to consider your choice carefully.
Things that you might want to consider include fit, style,
certification, and the material the helmet is made from, as well
as, of course, the price.
The different types of helmets that you might want to consider
a include full shell, short shell, competition shell, and youth.
Which is right for you depends on your needs:
- A full shell helmet gives complete coverage, and helps
keep the wind and elements too. Many full shell helmets
also have venting to help regulate temperature. Full shell
helmets are generally recommended for fast skiing.
- A short shell helmet gives less coverage but usually comparable
protection to a full shell helmet. Short shell helmets are a good
choice if you feel uncomfortable wearing a full shell helmet.
- Competition helmets are of course designed for competitions.
If you are serious downhill competitor, you probably want one - but if
you are just a recreational skier, you probably do not need one.
- Youth helmets are of course designed for younger people with smaller
heads than adults. Many youth helmets have removable pads which can be used
to adjust fitting as the child's head grows - meaning that they can last for
a while. When choosing a youth helmet, you should of course be looking
for one designed to the same safety standard as adult helmets.
After you know the make and type of helmet that you want, the other issue
to consider is the size. A helmet needs to not only be a good fit, but
comfortable too.
In general, it is worth investing in a decent helmet. Better quality helmets
tend to be more comfortable (better fit and better ventilation)
as being safer. A good quality helmet can withstand
a lot of damage (which would otherwise be damage to your head!),
if you do have a serious accident.
Finally, if you take good care of it, for example following only
the manufacturer's recommendations of cleaning it, your ski helmet
can last for many years.
Below are some ski helmets:
