Over the past ten years or so, helmets have become one of the main items in any skier’s suitcase. Provides unparalleled protection for your head and keeps your ears warm (win-win), so it is not surprising that the helmet industry has exploded in recent years, and there are now a large number of helmets on the market.

Of course, we are not complaining; we like the choices these days! However, the actual choice can be very daunting. Here, we have collected our selection of helmets for the upcoming season, involving design, durability and all the important protection of these precious heads! In this winter, have confidence in your headwear and chop it up.

Incredible versatility, you can benefit from this helmet year after year because it meets skiing, skating and cycling safety certifications. Bern Baker helmet uses high-quality knitted lining and adjustable BOA technology to truly create a perfect fit. It is the ultimate choice for comfort, fashion and safety.

ThinShell technology provides an ideal balance between the rigid ABS/polycarbonate shell and the thickness of the internal EPS foam. This means it provides a light feel while maintaining good protection. However, EPS foam can only be used once, so if you do this (touching wood) you will eventually be significantly affected, please be aware of this.

This helmet is also one of our favorite Bern products. "Sink fit" is low-key to make it look fresh, and Berne himself is a pioneer in the style of pointed hat brim, so you know you have a good grasp of it here.

Smith Variance is an excellent lightweight helmet that has become popular year after year. It is definitely a helmet that plays the most role in protection and comfort. This is a very lightweight helmet, so light that you can almost forget that you are wearing a helmet, but it is full of the most advanced safety technology.

This helmet uses Smith's Hybrid Shell structure, which combines the sturdy blockbuster ABS structure with flyweight in-mold technology to optimize the best characteristics of each material. In addition, Smith Variance benefits from Smith's MIPS technology, which is used to reduce the rotational force on the brain in the event of an oblique impact.

The Smith helmet has been designed to absorb direct impact very effectively. When combined with MIPS, the Smith helmet allows a small rotation of the shell relative to the pad to better absorb oblique forces.

The 18 vent system works well, keeping the helmet breathable but surprisingly warm even on the coldest days. It has a low-profile adjuster to adjust the climate control, allowing you to modify the airflow and heat removal of the helmet when you are on the mountain. In addition, the AirEvac 2 ventilation system means that when combined with Smith goggles, the two can be used as a system to expel warm and humid air from the goggles, helmet climate control system and head.

The design is simple and exquisite, there are many colors to choose from, of course, it is also very suitable for any Smith goggles. The adjustable Smith x Boa® bonding system provides an easy and simple way to achieve a perfect custom fit.

POC's Receptor BUG helmet combines award-winning design and safety. With the help of POC's Ventilated Double Shell Penetration Prevention System (VDSAP), the Receptor Bug helmet consists of two overlapping shells to prevent sharp objects and impacts. The advanced ABS shell forms a strong barrier, while the in-mold polycarbonate/EPS lining provides impressive, award-winning shock absorption. Basically, when your head is surrounded by POC Receptor Bugs, there is nothing safer than it.

The VDSAP system also provides effective ventilation, which can be opened when your head is overheated and closed on cold days. At the same time, detachable ear cushions and neck rolls make this helmet easy and flexible according to personal preference. Style and safety, a winning combination.

This is definitely an option for those who will travel to remote areas or snow parks this season and want a little extra protection. This helmet uses Shred’s Rotational Energy System (RES), a 360-degree floating technology that mimics the natural cushioning behavior of the fluid between the skull and the brain to reduce the rotational acceleration of the head during impact. Confused? Essentially, this is a simple and lightweight way to stop forces from any direction.

However, this helmet does not stop there! It also has Slytech's patent-pending NoShock technology, which is an EPP cellular foam integrated in the helmet's EPP core. When combined with RES, it provides unparalleled defense against the linear and multi-directional forces applied to the head during impact.

Designed to withstand any adventure, a great choice for brave skiers and soft and comfortable padding with Aegis? ? Microbe Shielding has antibacterial and deodorant effects and will definitely come in handy after a long mountain exploration. The Shred Shield ABS helmet shell is very sturdy, dent-resistant and impact-resistant, extending the life of the helmet. This helmet is also very stylish, with a simple block color design, which can be matched with almost any ski equipment.

This is a helmet for people who really want to stand out on slopes this season! It looks a bit like a helmet designed for space travel. It not only brings you unprecedented style, but also has top safety and protection. The uvex IAS fit system means that this helmet can be easily adjusted and is an uphill partner for any head.

The helmet is made of hard shell technology, with an injection-molded outer shell and an EPS inner shell. Its delicate and eye-catching structure is shock-resistant on the outside, while the inside can effectively prevent shock and cold weather. If you do find yourself getting hot from some intense ski lessons, just adjust multiple vent covers to increase the cool airflow.

The eye-catching lasergold lite visor has a mirror finish that prevents infrared rays and reduces glare, and has a supravision® anti-fog coating to maintain excellent visibility under any conditions.

The chrome coating of uvex really makes this helmet stand out, perfectly matching the litemirror sun visor lens. Although this helmet is definitely not suitable for those who don't like all eyes, it is a good choice for the more fashionable skiers among us!

There are six ventilation holes, good ventilation, and thick ears. And the reverse anti-cold bar on the front, this Wed'ze helmet will keep you warm and comfortable all day on slopes. We all know the importance of ventilation for helmets, because the last thing you want is steaming goggles. However, we also want to keep our head as warm as possible when we go out on a snowy day, so we very much agree with this Wed'ze design that strikes a balance between the two.

When it comes to protecting your precious head, some people do avoid using cheap helmets because they think they may provide less protection. However, this helmet meets the standard 1077-B and has an ABS shell to provide greater strength, which means it will never affect safety.

For only £34.99, this Wed'ze helmet will never go wrong, and personally, we like the absolutely popular blue. Wed'ze also has some great children's ski helmets, available in a variety of colors, starting from only £9.99. Bonus-the internal foam is easy to remove and machine wash!

For any lady with a truly stylish ski helmet, Sawako Snow is definitely worth seeing. As a world-renowned brand of fashionable riding helmets, Sawako has expanded its product range this year to include a series of super fashionable snow helmets. In 2006, Sawako Furuno, who turned from an architect to a helmet designer, began to devote himself to providing fashionable women with an active lifestyle, bridging the gap between luxury, practicality, sports and safety. Her ski helmet is undoubtedly successful in this regard.

These patterns borrowed from her best-selling bicycle design, and added additional features such as goggles straps, vents, warm inner pads and chin guards to ensure a comfortable and delicate wearing. Most importantly, these new helmets comply with European safety standards CE EN1077 and American ASTM F2040, which makes them safe in all winter sports. For those who want to stay safe on slopes and make a real statement, the Sawako Snow helmet can't go wrong.

A stable name that is at the forefront of fashion women's snowwear. Where there is snow, you will definitely see a Roxy helmet or ten. Stylish and fun, coupled with adequate protection, these helmets are always popular. Our choice this year is the Avery helmet, which has a slight peak, which is helpful in heavy snow, while maintaining a high risk of mountain style.

The Neon Grapefruit Cloud Nine design will definitely be popular with people who like ski gear because it adds a bit of fun and vitality. Another additional benefit is that you can also be easily spotted on slopes due to the bright colors!

In terms of security, Roxy did not flinch. The Roxy Avery helmet has a double-layer miniature shell, an ultra-light in-mold helmet structure, and EPS shock-absorbing foam. Passive ventilation of the front shell and top shell allows good air flow throughout the helmet, while the mesh and fleece lining keep your head warm and comfortable.

At the same time, soft thermoformed ear cushions with Sherpa fabric will ensure that your ears maintain maximum warmth. These ear pads are also detachable, so you have a lot of flexibility when wearing a helmet.

Now we all know that ski helmets have some interesting designs over the years, so we will leave you with our personal favorite series.
