Take care of your safety and that of your loved ones - types of snowboard helmets
A snowboard helmet is essential, and according to current law, anyone under 16 must have one. However, it's clear to us that a snowboard helmet is something every rider should have. Your safety on the slopes or while performing tricks cannot be overstated, and head protection is crucial. Which snowboard helmet should you choose? To answer this question, you need to know the different types of helmets available. And there are several.
Snowboard or ski helmet?
Many people wonder if there's a difference between snowboarding and skiing helmets . The answer is yes, but the differences aren't significant, mostly cosmetic. Subtle changes in shape or bolder color choices. You can easily ride a snowboard in a skiing helmet and vice versa; the only thing that matters is what you're more comfortable in.
What types of snowboard helmets are there?
The most commonly chosen type of helmet is the classic snowboard helmet . It comes in various shapes, from rounded to slimmer. Its design provides protection for the head and forehead. The part covering the ears is open, covered only with soft material that provides protection from the cold but doesn't muffle or distort ambient sounds. Therefore, a classic helmet is recommended primarily for beginners, who should be able to hear the instructor's instructions.
Another type of helmet is the hard-ear helmet . These helmets feature a built-in section that protects the ears, providing slightly greater protection in the event of a crash while also muffling ambient noise. This helmet should be chosen with particular care, as its design does not allow for adjustment.
Every rider worries about buying a helmet when choosing a pair of goggles. Helmets with built-in goggles solve this problem. They're an integral part of the helmet, so they always fit perfectly, eliminating the hassle of finding the perfect fit for your dream helmet.
How to choose the right snowboard helmet for your child
A snowboard helmet is essential for children and teenagers, as they are legally not allowed to ride without one. For younger children, choose helmets with soft ear pads. Remember to carefully choose a helmet that fits your head, as one that's too big or too small won't provide as much protection. Adjustability is also important in children's snowboard helmets, ensuring they last longer than one season.
The selection is wide, and everyone is sure to find the right snowboard helmet. And while they're not mandatory for adults, we strongly encourage everyone to wear helmets regardless of age. After all, many accidents on the slopes aren't our fault, and injuries are easy to come by. Ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones by wearing a helmet.
