In-Mould Ski & Snowboard Helmet Orange

Description

HardnutZ Men’s & Women’s In-mould Ski & Snowboard Helmet HardnutZ in-mould helmets are made by fusing an outer PC (Polycarbonate) shell and a shock-absorbing EPS (Expanded Poly Styrene) foam liner together in a single moulding process. In-mould helmets are therefore more lightweight and can offer a greater choice of ventilation systems but are generally more expensive due to the process involved in construction. Due to the smaller size of the vents, there is no need to cover them although the front two vents can be closed to slow down airflow. All of our in-mould helmets come finished with a smart rubber coating to add to that luxury feel. Technical Ski Helmet Features: Lightweight In-Mould Construction Rubber coated for a nice touchy-feely finish 14 vents to help keep your bonce cool with 2 adjustable front vents Dial-fit adjuster to ensure a proper but comfortable fit Simple to adjust chin strap with comfy fleece chin pad Luxury helmet liner and ear-pads.

Taking the tape, measure around your head just above your eyebrows and ears. Getting someone to help is probably best for a more accurate reading. Once you have the size check out the sizing below… Medium 54-58cms Large 58-61cms Fitting – Getting the right fit is essential. Too tight and you may get a headache, or worse, decide to take the helmet off and not wear it! Too loose and the helmet could slip off on impact, reducing the protection or may be even causing injury. Once you have chosen the right size helmet, loosen the dial-fit adjuster and put the helmet on, making sure the front edge of the helmet is just above your eyebrows and not half way up your forehead! Next, tighten the adjuster until a comfortable but secure fit is found. To test this, lean forwards with the chin strap still undone and see if the helmet falls off. If it does, it’s too loose. Simply tighten the dial until the helmet stays put. Next do up the chinstrap and adjust to the correct length, this being loose enough to get two fingers in between the strap and the neck. Lastly put your hand on top of the helmet and rock it back and forth. The helmet should not slide across your head and your eyebrows should move up and down with the movement of the helmet. Ultimately the helmet should fit not only snuggly and comfortably but it should be secure and safe. Safety & Testing – Both in-mould and ABS injection snow helmets have to pass the same CE-EN1077 European safety tests. The EPS liners in both types are designed to dissipate the energy of a collision either by compacting or breaking. Sometimes this damage is invisible to the naked eye so general advice is that if your helmet takes a proper smack, you should replace it. Due to the nature of the construction of the two types of helmet, the ABS injection style helmet can be more durable and hard wearing. All of our helmets have been tested and passed by global testing company SGS.
