FAQs

How do I know if my snowboard helmet fits? ›

To check, make sure the helmet sits low enough in the front to protect the snowboarder's forehead, about 1 inch above the eyebrows, and the back of the helmet does not touch the top of the snowboarder's neck. Some snowboard helmets have removable padding that can be adjusted to get a good fit.

How many hits can a snowboard helmet take? ›

Most ski helmets are designed to withstand one impact to the head. Their effectiveness reduces sharply after that. If you hit your head while traveling at high speed, you should retire your helmet immediately – even if it still appears to be serviceable.

Should snowboard helmet be tight or loose? ›

The helmet should fit snugly on top of the goggles, with no space between the helmet and the top of the goggles. However, the helmet should not sit so low on the skier's head that it pushes down on the goggles. Make sure that the skier can see straight forward and side- to-side.

What is a Class B snowboard helmet? ›

Class B helmets do not have to protect ears or the side of the head (though many of them do), and have to withstand an impact from a drop height of 37.5 cm. Class A helmets generally provide more comprehensive protection, while Class B helmets typically feature better ventilation and make it easier to hear.

How do you know if your helmet is a perfect fit or small? ›
