Women’s Ski Helmets

A Basic Guide to Women’s Ski Helmets

In 2012, over 70% of snowboarders and skiers wore helmets, and for good reason. Helmets significantly reduce the chances of serious injury, and today’s models are more stylish and comfortable than those of the past. In this article, readers can learn the differences between unisex and women’s ski helmets, and they can get some general information on helmet construction, style, and fit.

The Advent of Women’s Helmets

Just a few years ago, most ladies ski helmets were little more than unisex models with a pretty paint job. The fit was too large, and many women were forced to use larger youth sizes with kid-friendly graphics. If a female-specific helmet existed, it usually had none of the technological features found in unisex helmets. Thankfully, helmet makers are realizing that female skiers and snowboarders want cutting-edge features and solid protection—and today’s women have a variety of helmets from which to choose.

What is the Difference Between a Women’s Helmet and a Unisex Model?

Other than the smaller size, there is no substantial difference in men’s and women’s skull shapes. Therefore, the differences present in women’s ski helmets are largely aesthetic. Shaping, protective technology, and essential features are the same as those found in unisex ski helmets. However, female-specific models may have enhanced graphics and subtle differences in finish, fit, and covering. For instance, most women’s ski helmets are designed to accommodate for a ponytail. Women’s helmets have technology and features that rival the best found on the market.

Size and Fit

The most important aspect of a women’s snowboard helmet is its fit. To protect the skier’s brain from injury, the helmet should fit comfortably and properly. The easiest way to determine proper fit is to use a string or tape measure to determine the circumference of the wearer’s head in centimeters, as measured directly above the brow line. A properly fitted helmet should have no gaps, and all padding should be flush against the wearer’s head.

A few years ago, women were forced to settle for a smaller selection and an inferior fit when it came to ski helmets. However, things have definitely changed. By choosing the right ski helmet, women can get top-level protection and unparalleled comfort every time they hit the slopes.
