Black Friday : ski helmets
Your helmet has seen several seasons, or you don't have one yet: it's time to take care of it. This Black Friday page brings together ski and snowboard helmets, from simple models to more technical shells.
Filter by brand, size, or colour to find yours.
A helmet is something you choose once and keep
A helmet is first chosen for its fit: it should hold without being tight, and not move when you shake your head. During Black Friday, ski helmets on sale are gathered here. You can compare shells, ventilation, and adjustment systems before making a decision.
What changes from one model to another
Some helmets focus on lightness, others on ventilation or compatibility with a mask. Check the head circumference adjustment and the space left for the ears: on cold slopes, a comfortable helmet can be worn all day without thinking about it.
Helmets: which brands to compare
POC, Head, Smith, Sweet Protection, Cairn, and Vola are in the Brand filter. Each has its style: sleek shells, sporty lines, models designed for freeride or family use. Use the filter to compare two or three models side by side.
Completing the headgear
A helmet goes with a well-fitted mask: check out the ski masks. For the rest of your outfit, check the ski jackets, gloves, or ski boots.
Where to continue the comparison
The whole operation is on Black Friday winter sports. The winter sports sales and winter sports clearance allow for comparison.
An adjustment that makes all the difference
A helmet is adjusted with a rear dial or a tightening system. Do it cold, with the strap fastened, then shake your head: nothing should move. Comfortable foam around the ears prevents pressure points at the end of the day.
Ventilation and temperature
Helmets with adjustable vents adapt to the weather. Open, they dissipate heat during exertion. Closed, they protect from the cold on the chairlift. A poorly designed vent can instead cause fogging on the mask.
A helmet suitable for children
A child's helmet must be fitted to their head, never bought too big to last. Measure the head circumference and choose the corresponding size. Let the child try it on and check that the helmet does not slip over their eyes.
When to replace your helmet
Even without a fall, the inner foam and shell age with cold and UV rays. If your helmet has several seasons behind it, or if the strap has loosened, it's time to replace it. Also check the manufacturing date indicated inside.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I find a cheap ski helmet?
Here, among the models in the operation. Also check the winter sports sales to compare.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your head circumference, then compare with the guide on the page. The helmet should fit without pressure points.
Is a ski helmet suitable for snowboarding?
Yes, they are the same helmets. Just check the style that you like.
Should it be replaced after a fall?
After a significant impact, replace it: the shell may have absorbed the impact without showing it.
Can I wear a helmet with a beanie?
A thin beanie can fit, but it's better to try the helmet on with the same thickness as you would on the slopes.
