A ski helmet is an essential piece of equipment for every skier, whatever your experience level. Read through our guide and find out how to choose your ski, freeride or touring helmet. 

Skiing offers a unique combination of adrenaline, natural beauty and physical challenges. We all focus on buying the right skis along, and often skiers overlook the one safety essential: the ski helmet. One of the most crucial aspects of ski helmets is their ability to protect the head from impact. 

Both ski slopes and off-piste routes can be unpredictable, and even the most experienced skiers can end up having accidents. These could involve falls or collisions with other skiers or objects, or drifting into dangerous situations. 

Measurements

A helmet should stay firmly on your head without being too tight or too loose. Make sure it’s adjustable for a custom fit. When you find the helmet you like on our site, click on the “Size guide” to find the right one for you.

Safety Certification

Check that the helmet is certified according to safety standards. Atomic helmets meet CE-EN1077 (the European standard) and ASTM F-2040 (the North American standard). This means that each of our helmets guarantees the same basic level of protection whatever its structure (ABS, IN-MOULD or hybrid).

Ventilation

Choose a helmet with a good ventilation system to keep your head cool on your way down the mountain.

• Lightweight: a lightweight helmet reduces fatigue and optimises comfort throughout the day.
• Style and Design: although safety is always the top priority, helmet design and style also matter.
