Wearing a helmet is no longer just a craze.They are light, comfortable, fashionable... and useful.Helmets are now worn in all kinds of fun sports cycling, rollerblading, skateboarding and other “street” sports.They are part of the gear, the manufacturers have worked on the look... and they keep you warm.They are not compulsory, but there is still good reason to wear them as they considerably reduce the consequences of skiing accidents (collisions between skiers or with an obstacle, falls etc.).They are recommended by the skiing schools and professional skiers have set the example. In North America they are now part of the equipment along with skis, gloves and goggles - in fact it's very fashionable to have the latest model.Helmets have become a new challenge for the brands and we can offer a very wide range of models, all certified to European standards, so that you can ski to your heart’s content.
