Snowboard Helmets

Whether on the slopes or off, a helmet can protect you from serious head injuries. The different models are suitable for different uses. To ensure that you are optimally protected, it is important to know which snowboard helmet is the right one for your activities. When choosing helmets, it is not so easy to keep track, so we have summarized the most important features for you here:

How is my snowboard helmet constructed?

If you are looking for a snowboard helmet, you have three constructions to choose from:

Hard shell: In this case, the helmet consists of two separate shells: an outer shell and an inner shell. During production, these are then glued together with the help of an intermediate grid and thus guarantee you optimal energy absorption. This production method also has the advantage that your snowboard helmet is better ventilated and in the event of a strong impact, the energy is better distributed over the entire helmet. Hardshell models tend to be in a higher price segment compared to an In-Mold construction and are very suitable due to their protective function if you are often out freeriding or in the park.
In-Mold: With the In-Mold construction, on the other hand, the outer and inner shells are welded directly together, which makes the helmet stable. Additionally, this type of helmet has a relatively low weight. However, they offer less necessary protection in the event of an impact and are therefore more recommended for alpine use on the slopes.
Hybrid: Hybrid helmets usually have a hard shell and are combined with an in-mold construction in the lower part. Hybrid technology combines all the safety features of both constructions. Above all, these models are very robust and have a light weight.
