Skiing and snowboarding have always been my favorite activities during the winter. At the early stages, everything seemed to be going perfectly well until one day I got my head injured. Though the injury was not that serious, I had to look for ways of preventing future injuries. It was at this time when I got myself introduced to the ski helmets.

Here is a list of the Best Ski Helmets

After making a decision to buy a ski helmet, one thing I noticed is that there are bazillion models in the market. I didn't see the need to be that choosy; after all, they all offer protection to our heads. What I therefore considered was color; because blue has always been my favorite color.

After the acquisition of my first blue ski helmet, I learnt that it was heavy to put on for hours. Another thing is that it would slide all over my head hence couldn't offer the comfort I needed. I had therefore to repurchase a comfortable and lightweight helmet. Though this time the helmet had the features that every skier and snowboarder craves for, I had to replace it every year. Well, this did not seem a serious issue to me; after all, I thought that that was the nature of ski helmets.

I realized that my friend’s helmet could offer something different in terms of durability. Therefore, I again learnt that it's not just about color, weight or comfort but also durability. Been an economist, I couldn't stand wasting my money on the same product. I decided to conduct an in-depth research to come up with the best ski helmets on the market. One thing about me is that am perfect when it comes to research. I, therefore, came up with the best 5 ski helmets. Believe me, none of them has ever disappointed me or my friends. So, which are these ski helmets? Well, you just need to read on.

Top 5 Best Ski Helmets

 1.  ZIONOR Lagopus H1 Ski Snowboard Skate Helmet

This sky helmet features dual mode air evacuations and a regulator that allows you open and close the vent holes located at the front side of the helmet. The opening allows for full and fast air flow while closure makes the helmet windproof. Having been made of strong ABS and EPS material, it offers strong impact resistance.

Pros:

• It kept my head warm and well ventilated.
• Its lightweight nature means that I can enjoy safe snowboarding or skiing for as long as I want.
• It is of great quality when compared to the price.

Cons:

• The adjustment tool is not the sturdiest; it may break when you fall. Though not always the case. If it does break, then it must have been because of a hard knock.
