The choice of a ski helmet is an important safety and health issue. Such a helmet significantly reduces the possibility of head injury. The better the helmet, the less likely it is to cause serious damage to yourself while skiing or snowboarding.
Instructions
Step 1
A ski helmet is necessary in any case, even if a person first gets on skis or snowboards. There is always the possibility of error and you need to take care of your health in advance. Moreover, there is always the possibility that someone else could be the culprit for the injury. Many pros never ride without helmets.
There are closed and open helmets. The latter are more inexpensive in terms of cost, and are suitable for both skiers and snowboarders. Closed helmets are quite an expensive pleasure designed for professionals and for riding on unprepared snow surfaces.
Step 2
Any helmet must meet a specific international standard. The dimensions of the helmet correspond to a certain head size, the smallest permissible length of its circumference is 48 centimeters (corresponds to size 6). The protection should fit snugly on the head and should only move with the skin of the forehead. A dangling helmet is completely useless. You should not buy models that touch the back of the neck.
Step 3
Ventilation is another important parameter. In warm weather, it is required. With a well-ventilated helmet, the head will never sweat for a comfortable feeling. Unventilated helmets are best used in snowy or cold weather.
Step 4
The framework plays an important role, since it is he who is responsible for the strength of the product. In general, good helmets have polycarbonite in their composition, which gives a low weight and a high level of strength. The inner part is made of double-strength polystyrene with a special coating, thanks to which the helmet is tighter on the head and has more protection.
