Ski Helmets - Helmet Reviews

Ski Helmets use the same technology as Snowboard Helmets

There are a number of companies offering ski helmets today. The most important thing about a snowboarding helmet or ski helmet is that it covers your entire head. Cycling helmets are not very practical for protecting your brain from park jumps and halfpipes.

Companies like Protec offered helmets to skateboarders and BMX bikers before pro snowboarders started bringing their skullcaps onto the slopes. Ski helmets are interchangeable with the term "snowboard helmet". It's the same plastic, chin-strap, Styrofoam and padding so don't be mislead by advertisers.

Shoei Helmets is another provider of high quality ski helmets. If you are trying to learn to snowboard online they won't tell you that you absolutely hit the back of your head on the snow so hard you're going to see stars. I can't promise you that you'll learn how to snowboard the first day on the slopes but I can promise you'll smack your head pretty hard at least once.

Do yourself a favor and order a ski helmet / snowboard helmet that will fit your head and protect your brain from ice, trees, rocks and rails!
