Snowboarding Helmets Guide

A snowboarding helmet is a protective head covering that is designed and constructed to withstand multiple impacts. These helmets not only act as protective covers, but also insulate against the cold weather. Snowboarding helmets come in various sizes and styles, and it is pertinent to choose a helmet that fits best for safety.

Types

* '''Youth Helmets''': Also known as kids or junior helmets, these miniature sized helmets are lightweight. These helmets generally have an adjustable dial for added comfort. * '''Short Shell Helmets''': Partially covering the head, short shell helmets can be used by amateurs who are not into serious snowboarding. The short shell helmet is ideal for those who feel uncomfortable covering the whole head. * '''Full Shell Helmets''': Meant for professionals who run a high risk of injury during competition, the helmet shell covers the entire head. These helmets protect users from precipitation and strong winds. * '''Racing Helmets''': Perfect for professionals who participate in snowboarding competitions, these racing helmets provide maximum safety. Although these helmets are heavier than other styles, they are more comfortable as they have extra padding and jaw support. * '''Vented Helmets''': These helmets have a vent in the front that protects the user from the effects of temperature and wind. The adjustable vents help keep the vision field clear.
