Some basics about ski helmets

There are two main types of Ski helmet shells currently on the market: PC (polycarbonate) and ABS (a type of engineering plastic). PC helmets are generally lighter than ABS helmets, and the price is higher than the unit price of ABS helmets. The weight of PC helmets is generally 350-450 grams, and the weight of ABS helmets is generally 500-650 grams.

The main material of the helmet is EPS (foamed polyethylene). The inner lining increases comfort, and the main material is a sponge covered with various fabrics, such as fleece, shearing, etc. The adjuster adjusts the helmet size.

The fixing device generally consists of a webbing and a buckle (POM), which is used to fix the helmet on the head and prevent it from falling off during exercise. The goggle buckle is for fixing the ski goggles.

Why wear a ski helmet

1. Reduce the probability of injury

The head is the most important part of our entire body and the thinnest part of the skin. Beginners with low self-confidence, ski enthusiasts who challenge high-speed skiing, and even ski masters must wear a ski helmet to prevent this from happening.

2. Keep warm

Ski helmets have much higher wind resistance and warmth than ordinary cotton caps (or wool caps), and can play a good role in keeping warm during the sliding process. Especially for skiing in the cold northern regions of our country, you can also wear a wool cap inside a ski helmet, which not only plays a double-layered thermal insulation role.

3. Prevent snow goggles from fogging and frosting

Most people skiing with a beanie have such experience, and temporarily wear snow goggles on their foreheads when riding the cable car. At this time, the heat of the body turns the sweat on the hat into water vapor, and the water vapor evaporates through the wool cap to the snow goggles, causing the goggles to fog or frost. Ski helmets do not have a similar situation because of shell isolation.

4. Reduce residual snow

The most troublesome thing when skiing is to take off the wool cap to shake off the residual snow after skiing in heavy snow or bushes (especially the residual snow left on the foam around the goggles will also cause the goggles to fog). The smooth surface of the ski helmet will not leave snow residue even when skiing in heavy snow.

5. You can install a motion camera

Action cameras can be installed on the ski helmets to record videos while skating, making skating more fun. It is recommended to choose the action camera that suits you according to your own needs.
