Helmet Size
To help you choose the right size of snowboard helmet, click on the link next to each helmet detail to view the size chart. In the table, each size is associated with a head circumference range. Measure your head circumference using a tailor's tape measure. Measure just above the eyebrows and run the tape measure horizontally around the circumference. Then select the appropriate size from the chart.
The helmet must sit on the head in such a way that even without the chin strap fastened, the helmet will not move when the head is shaken. Some manufacturers add foam pads to helmets to fit inside the helmet. This way the helmet padding adapts to the shape of the head as much as possible.
You don't have to worry about buying a snowboard helmet through an online store. If your helmet doesn't fit, we'll replace it! How to proceed with the exchange?
Air Vents
Snowboard helmets usually have several ventilation holes at the crown of the head. Thanks to them, the head will not sweat as much during increased exertion. These vents can be closed on some models, so your head is nice and warm when riding the chairlift or waiting in line for a lift. The vents are usually covered with a mesh to keep the falling snow away.
Two Helmets in One
If you want a versatile helmet for both winter and summer sports, choose a helmet that has detachable ear flaps, or whole helmet liners.
Kids Helmets
For the little ones, helmets that have an adjustable circumference of the inner lining of the head are suitable. The kid will use the helmet for more than one season, plus the helmet holds firmly on the head.
