Advantages
Impact protection
Skiing is classified as a high-risk sport, which means that the greatest possible protection is required during skiing. The helmet offers impact protection, which increases the user[s safety on the slopes.
Hardshell construction
The construction combines two layers. One In mould layer with a much harder and thicker outer shell layer. These layers are not closely interconnected and the helmet itself is nevertheless characterised by a higher weight thanks to this construction.
Passive ventilation
Permanently integrated into the helmet, the ventilation channels let fresh air in through the openings at the front and let excess heat and moisture out through the rear openings. Thanks to this solution, the goggles do not evaporate and the head is kept comfortable during activity.
Ergonomic design
The ergonomic shape ensures a high level of comfort when skiing. This helmet design allows undisturbed airflow, which also improves ventilation inside the shell.
Hard ear muffs
Hard ear muffs are otherwise known as hard-ear construction, i.e. a built-up design of this area. The shell covering the ears provides additional protection against injury and often offers the possibility of attaching a guard. This type of helmet is recommended for people who ride aggressively and fast and plan to compete in competitions.
EN 1077 certification
This is a European safety certificate which certifies that the helmet has passed crash and point tests. The first part of the test determines the maximum force that can act on the helmet during a collision, checking absorption through deformation, while the second tests the strength of the shell during point impacts, such as with a ski pole.
ABS shell
The shell is made of ABS plastic, which is highly scratch-resistant and characterised by high hardness and durability. It is also highly resistant to deformation.
EPP inner shell
Underneath the outer, impact-resistant shell, there is an inner layer of multi-impact EPP foam, which is highly resilient. Its main function is to absorb the force of impact during an accident.
ASTM F2040 certification
This is an American safety standard, more stringent than the European CE 1077 ECC standard. The test involves dropping the helmet on three types of impact anvils at different speeds. However, point tests and chin strap tests are omitted. A helmet with this certification ensures safety during a crash.
ABS Hard Shell
A technology used in snowboard and ski helmets, among others, which, thanks to its ABS outer shell, absorbs the impact, minimising its force.
IMPACTS
Rossignol brand technology developed for helmets. The purpose of this system is to protect the helmet from repeated impacts that may not have a negative effect on its functionality. The IMPACTS helmet is made of versatile EPP foam combined with a hard shell. The design has been developed so that the comfort and lightness of the product is not adversely affected.
