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.

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.

Buckle fastening

The chin strap uses a classic buckle fastening. It is easy to use, but fastening and unfastening it can be problematic with winter gloves. It will work well with helmets designed for slightly older children.

EPS inner shell

Under the outer, impact-resistant shell, there is an inner layer of EPS foam. It has a varying density and its main function is to absorb the force of impact during an accident. It provides a good level of safety.

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.

360° MICROSHELL

Used in the lower edge of the helmet, a special polycarbonate layer effectively prevents mechanical damage such as scratches and dents.

Hardshell

Special helmet shell moulding technology applied to EPS foam. Guarantees high resistance to external impacts and absorbs shocks.

Neckgator

Neck guard for ski helmets from Head. It adjusts to the circumference of the neck. Thanks to the soft padding, it provides maximum wearing comfort, comfort and warmth.

Inner cap

A solution for a soft, pressure-free fit of the ski helmet to the head, thanks to the microfleece lining. It protects the head from gusts of cold air and the mesh sections provide adequate ventilation.

Dual Density Core

Modern helmet construction patented by the Head brand. It consists of a double-density EPS material. Helmets enhanced with this construction meet the strict requirements of the FIS RH 2013 standards.
