The way to the right classic ski helmet

  1. Measure your head and check the fit
    Measure your head circumference and try on different models to find the ideal fit. A helmet that is too loose will lose its protective function, while one that is too tight will cause pressure points.
  2. Select the desired construction
    Choose a hard shell if you want maximum stability, or in-mould if light weight and comfort are more important to you.
  3. Weigh up ventilation and padding
    On cold days, less ventilation is advantageous; for sporty riding, adjustable ventilation is worthwhile. Look for removable, easy-care padding.
  4. Check additional features
    Mounts for ski goggles, removable ear pads or audio compatibility can improve the riding experience. However, bear in mind that more equipment often means more weight.
  5. Compare brands and value for money
    Classic helmets from established brands offer proven quality. Compare features and price to find the best overall package.

XSPO not only supports you with a large selection of classic ski helmets, but also with expert advice and personal service so that you can find the model that suits you perfectly.
