Helmets
Children's ski helmets - reliable models available from SportanoSafety on the ski slopes is a priority for every parent. This is why choosing the right ski helmet for your child is so important. Children's ski helmets differ from those for adults in many respects, from size and shape to special features and technologies.
At Sportano you will find professional children's ski helmets from renowned brands such as POC, 4F, Salomon, HEAD, Atomic, Alpina or Dainese.Choosing the right size and fit for a child's headChoosing the right size and fit of a children's ski helmet is a crucial issue for their safety and comfort. While it is easier for adult skiers to choose a helmet with the right fit, children, especially the youngest ones, may find it difficult to articulate their feelings. This is why parents need to take extra steps to make sure the helmet is the right fit.
Firstly, it is always a good idea to use a tailor's tape measure to measure the circumference of the child's head. This should be done a few centimetres above the eyebrows and ears, so that the result is as precise as possible. This measurement is the basis for choosing the size of the helmet, but that's not all.
Some children's helmets offer adjustment options that allow fine-tuning of the size, for example through adjustable straps or clamping systems. Such solutions are very practical, especially for children who are in a period of intense growth. It is a good idea to choose a helmet that offers this possibility, as this will ensure a better fit over a longer period of time.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to the inner padding and cushions, which are often made of soft and flexible materials. They too contribute to comfort and fit. If they are interchangeable, they can be adjusted or replaced when the child grows up.
The last thing to look at is the way the helmet fits around the head. The ideal helmet should fit snugly but not too tightly, and it should not move around on the head when moving. This is crucial for effective head protection in the event of a fall. Therefore, once the helmet has been purchased, it is worth seeing how the child moves with it on their head and whether there are any signs of discomfort or pressure.
All these aspects combine to create a comprehensive process for choosing a ski helmet for children. This is not a decision that can be made at random; it requires an informed and considered approach. By keeping these recommendations in mind, you can greatly increase the chances of purchasing a helmet that will be both safe and comfortable for your child.Special features and technologies in helmets for the little onesWe often find special features and technologies in children's helmets that enhance their safety and comfort. Here are some of them:
Lightweight materials: children's helmets are often made of lighter materials to make them more comfortable for younger skiers.
Ventilation: ventilation systems are very important, especially for active children. With adequate ventilation, the child will not feel thermal discomfort during intense exertion.
Additional security: some children's helmets have additional security features, such as special buckles that are more difficult to open accidentally.
Compatibility with additional equipment: children love gadgets, so look out for helmets that can be combined with goggles, communication systems or cameras.
Aesthetics and designs: last but not least is the appearance of the helmet. Children are often more willing to wear helmets that have an attractive design or their favourite cartoon characters.
When choosing a ski helmet for your child, keep these key features and technologies in mind. Not only will they increase your child's safety on the slopes, but they will also make their time on skis more enjoyable.
