    Design details

    What does the patented Visor+ technology involve?

    Visor+ helmets feature a system that allows you to wear a visor or remove it to wear a mask. The visor (compliant with ISO 18527-1) is interchangeable. When removed, two caps allow you to cover the notches on the helmet without compromising the design.

    Is the Visor+ system repairable?

    If broken, our Visor+ system can be repaired. It is sold separately so you can refit it at home. If you have any questions, please visit your nearest store.

    The visor offers an advantage for those who wear glasses: it really widens your field of vision.

    In addition to being suitable for wearing over glasses while skiing, the visor widens the field of vision by 25% horizontally and 7% vertically. This allows you to anticipate better and not miss a thing, for more fun and safety!

    How to choose the right size and trying on your helmet

    Measure the circumference of your head (from the middle of your forehead to the top of your ears) and choose the right size. When trying on the helmet, you should not feel any discomfort. If the helmet does not have a visor, try it on with a pair of goggles: There should be no gaps between the two.

    How do you adjust your helmet once you have the right size?

    For your safety, your ski helmet must be properly adjusted:
    - The head circumference must be adjusted using the tightening dial.
    - The chin strap must be correctly adjusted. You should be able to fit two fingers between the strap and your skin. If the helmet is poorly fitted, it will provide less protection.

    The outer shell is made of ABS.

    The helmet is made of a rigid ABS shell and an internal EPS liner to absorb impacts.

    When to change your ski helmet?

    We recommend changing your ski helmet every 5 years, unless it has sustained a significant impact in the meantime. In case of severe impact, you need to change the helmet: even if you can’t see it, the inner material may be damaged and your helmet will offer less protection.

    Is it advisable to wear a liner under my helmet in cold weather?

    Avoid wearing a hat, as this will create a gap between your head and your helmet and reduce your protection. If necessary, opt for a very thin balaclava designed for this purpose.
    Avoid putting a camera on the helmet, as this will compromise your safety. The standard does not take into account any elements added to the helmet.

    What does the European Standard EN 1077:2007, which applies to helmets used for downhill skiing or snowboarding, entail?

    It is characterised by its shock absorption capacity and penetration resistance. There are two categories of protection:
    - Class A: the top and back of the head, as well as the ears and sides of the head.
    - Class B: the top and back of the head, but not the ears.

    What are the specific return conditions for personal protective equipment?

    Recycled polystyrene

    Lightweight polystyrene is widely used in packaging to protect everyday products. But all too often, it is discarded after a single use. To change that, we recycle it and give it a new life in our products. Instead of relying on new fossil resources, we recover polystyrene waste. Once sorted and ground, it is transformed into a new material, ready to be used in manufacturing. The result: a recycled material that retains its performance, with at least 43% fewer CO2eq emissions compared to virgin polystyrene.
