Safety Standards: CE EN 1077: This is a European standard that has performed testing on these helmets to ensure they function as designed, and that they exceed the minimum standards for snow sports. In other words, they dropped heavy objects on the helmets, and they didn't break.
ASTM 2040: The US equivalent of the European testing standard, so you know it has solid backing. Hard ear flaps: Hard ear flaps protect the ears and side of head better than soft ear flap helmets. The comfort level isn't quite the same as a soft flap, and its slightly more difficult to hear, but if you hit a tree or a racing gate with your ear, you'll be grateful that this has hard ear flaps. Passive Vents: Permanently open vents allow for continual air circulation to prevent overheating. Don't worry, snow won't get in because of the lining on the inside of the helmet keeps the elements out. Standard goggle clip: One clip at the back of the helmet to keep the goggle strap seated down and in place. Neck Seal: A padded section of fabric at the back of the neck prevents snow and cold air from entering the helmet. |
