Guide to Buying Your Perfect Ski Helmet

We know that choosing a helmet can be confusing. That's why we're answering the most frequently asked questions skiers have before purchasing.

How to know the size of a ski helmet?

Choosing the correct size is crucial to ensure the helmet's effectiveness. A helmet that's too large can shift in an impact, and a helmet that's too small can be uncomfortable. Follow these steps:

1. Measure your head: Use a flexible tape measure and measure the circumference of your head, passing it above your eyebrows and ears (approximately 1-2 cm above).

2. Check the table: Each model has its own size guide. Compare your measurement in centimeters with the corresponding table.

3. Final fit: A helmet that fits your size should feel firm but without pressure points. The helmet shouldn't wobble when you move your head. Most of our models include a "boa" or wheel-type adjustment system for a perfect fit.

What is MIPS technology in a helmet?

MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It's a low-friction inner layer that allows the helmet to slide slightly (10-15 mm) relative to the head during an angled impact.

Why is it important? Most ski falls result in oblique, non-linear impacts. MIPS technology helps reduce rotational forces on the brain, decreasing the risk of concussions and serious brain injuries. Investing in a helmet with MIPS is investing in a higher level of safety.

What should I consider when buying a ski helmet?

In addition to size and safety technology like MIPS, consider these factors:

• Ventilation: Look for helmets with adjustable ventilation systems. They'll allow you to regulate your temperature, preventing excessive sweating on hot days and keeping you warm on cold days.

• Goggle Compatibility: Make sure your ski goggle fits snugly into your helmet, leaving no gaps (the infamous "gaper gap" ). At Caranva, many of our helmets are designed to fit perfectly with all major goggle brands.

• Weight: A lightweight helmet increases comfort during long days of skiing. Modern materials provide great protection with minimal weight.

• Earmuffs and inner lining: Consider whether the earmuffs are removable and whether the lining is detachable and washable to maintain good hygiene.

Is it mandatory to wear a helmet when skiing in Spain?

Although regulations may vary slightly between resorts, the use of a ski helmet is highly recommended for everyone, and in many resorts, it is mandatory in snow parks, competition areas, and during ski lessons, especially for minors . Beyond the requirement, it is the most important safety tool for preventing serious injuries.
