Find the Right Ski Helmet for Your Needs

Believe it or not, ski helmets aren’t one-size-fits-all. Each helmet type comes with different features and modes of protection. You can’t go wrong with a hand-selected pick from ERIK'S. Here’s an overview of the ski helmets we offer and who should get them. 

All-Mountain Helmets 

If there could ever be a universal ski helmet, this is it. All-mountain ski helmets have versatile designs that are perfect for general skiing and snowboarding alike. They offer a balance of protection and comfort on the slopes. 

Freestyle Helmets

Are you looking for something lightweight and low-profile? Consider freestyle helmets. These are designed for park and freestyle riders and skiers, so they’re not too heavy on the head. 

Backcountry Helmets

If you’re venturing into the backcountry, you need a properly ventilated helmet. Backcountry ski helmets are designed with advanced ventilation to keep you from overheating. 

Audio-Integrated Helmets

This one’s for the skiers who enjoy music or communication while they ride. An audio-integrated ski helmet allows you to play your favorite tunes or podcasts while you traverse the slopes. Pretty cool, right? 

Helmet-Goggle Integration

Goggles are just as important as ski helmets—you need clear visibility to navigate the trail. These helmets are designed to seamlessly integrate with any pair of goggles for a comfortable fit and better performance. 

Key Features of Our Ski Helmets 

When selecting your perfect ski helmet, there’s more to consider than just head protection. Both men and women need functional, durable ski helmets that hold up against impact and different weather conditions. Here are some of the key features of our high-quality ski helmets, which combine comfort and functionality. 

Safety Standards (ASTM, CE, MIPS)

Our ski helmets meet global safety standards and are certified by the American Society for Testing and Materials, Conformité Européenne (European health and safety standards), and Multi-Directional Impact Protection systems. This means you can trust that your helmet offers maximum protection. 

Ventilation Systems

Temperature and airflow control are both important when you’re skiing. Our helmets feature comfortable and functional ventilation systems to regulate your body heat and encourage natural cooling. 

Fit Systems

We believe that adjustable straps and other customizable fit mechanisms make skiing a much more pleasant experience. Head size is not universal, and our quality selection of ski helmets reflects that idea. Our adjustable fitting systems make it so you can protect your head without sacrificing comfort. 

Liner Material and Comfort

The liner you want will depend on your personal preferences and skiing style. We have everything you might need, from removable inserts to moisture-wicking liners that keep sweat away from your body. You can go as hard as you need to with the peace of mind that our helmets will be there to keep you comfortable and safe. 

Helmet-Goggle Compatibility

Wearing ski goggles is crucial. They’re necessary for clear vision, peripheral detection, and overall safety while navigating the slopes. 

With the help of our knowledgeable staff, you’ll be able to find the perfect pair of goggles that you can wear comfortably with your helmet. Our helmets are designed for maximum compatibility with a wide range of ski goggles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ski Helmets

We’re here to help you resolve all concerns and share everything we know. If you’re looking for more information on ski helmets, you can start by checking out the answers to some of our customers’ most frequently asked questions. 

How Do I Know What Size Ski Helmet I Need?

To find your ski helmet size, you’ll typically need to compare your head measurements to each brand’s sizing chart. Wrap a flexible tape measure around the widest part of your head to get an accurate head measurement. 

What Is MIPS, and Is It Worth It in a Ski Helmet?

MIPS stands for Multi-Directional Impact Protection Systems. Ski helmets with MIPS protect your head from blunt impact and trauma, which could potentially save your life. It’s well worth it to purchase a MIPS ski helmet. 

Are Ski Helmets Mandatory? 

Ski helmet requirements are location-dependent. Some slopes only mandate that minors wear helmets, while others require all skiers to have one for liability reasons. It’s always a good idea to protect your head with a helmet when participating in snow sports. 

How Do I Pair My Ski Helmet with Goggles?

Look for helmet-goggle integration and compatibility in each helmet’s design as you browse our store. Our associates can also help you with this. Helmet compatibility is an essential feature if you want a comfortable fit, and it can prevent visibility and blockage issues with your goggles. 

How Long Does a Ski Helmet Last Before Needing Replacement?

If you never experience a strong head impact on the slopes, your helmet can last for up to five years. Most manufacturers recommend replacing your helmet every five years to ensure optimal protection. Always replace your helmet immediately after a crash or head injury on the slopes.
