Head skis and equipment - brand quality with understanding

Head skis stand for precision, stability and speed. From race piste to powder, the brand delivers technologies that noticeably dampen, distribute weight sensibly and increase control. At XSPO, you'll find Head skis, bindings, ski boots and poles to create a high-quality and harmonious setup.

Brief history of the Head brand

Head goes back to aeronautical engineer Howard Head, who founded the company in 1950 and developed one of the first successful metal laminate skis, the Head Standard. This sandwich of wood, aluminium and plastic set standards and made Head the defining ski brand in the 1950s and 1960s, before the company was sold to AMF in 1969. Today, as a sports group, Head is one of the established suppliers of skis and bindings with Tyrolia, among others.
