Key Features to Consider When Choosing a Ski or Snowboard Helmet
Choosing the right helmet can be tricky with all the choices out there. To help simplify your decision, consider the following important features when selecting a ski or snowboard helmet:
1. MIPS Technology: Look for helmets with MIPS for added protection. MIPS helmets are easily identifiable by the yellow "MIPS" sticker on the helmet.
2. Adjustable Systems: Ensure a secure fit with helmets that have adjustable systems for maximum comfort and safety.
3. Goggle Vents: Opt for helmets with goggle vents for enhanced comfort.
4. Goggle Clip: A goggle clip is essential to keep your eyewear in place.
5. Reflectors: Increase visibility with helmets that have reflectors.
6. NFC Medical ID Systems: These can be crucial in emergencies, allowing help to gain valuable and lifesaving information.
7. Bluetooth Earbud Compatibility: Enhance your overall experience on the slopes with helmets that are compatible with Bluetooth earbuds.
8. Lastly, consider the colour of your helmet. While white is a sleek and classic choice, it's also the same colour as snow, which is not ideal in the event of an avalanche.
