Keeping it safe on the slopes has never been cooler! Thanks to modern snow gear equipment designs, even kids and teens are happy to wear safety gear. The newest helmets look awesome, advancements in ski/board design improve control, and multi-purpose upgrades to modern goggles have transformed dangerous slope conditions into confident cruising.
If you’ve been searching for some worthwhile upgrades to boost your safety and stability on the blues and blacks, check out these latest updates from our experts at the Ski Bum.
A Better Helmet Is A Priority
While beanies will always be cool, helmets are quickly becoming the new standard for every skier. Among the most at-risk points of contact after catching an unexpected edge, a single cranial impact can have lifelong implications. Even if you’re only cruising the bunny slope, a slow-speed collision with hardpack snow and ice replicates the traumatic forces of an impact with concrete!
Our ultra-rugged lineup from Smith, Giro, Oakley, Pret and Atomic stems from years of impact research and force-dispersal engineering. Tried and trusted by professionals around the world, these leading brands back their protective systems with a wealth of convenient features.
Check out our designs with built-in visors and cozy interior layers, or find a style that has surround-sound quality woven into the ear warmers. You can wear many of our helmets without a hat underneath and adjust the fit on the fly for comfort and safety redefined.
Clear Visibility Is Key
Pair any of our goggles with your new and improved helmet setup and you’ll be prepared for any mountain condition. Advanced lens designs have come a long way, optimizing visibility in bright and low-light conditions to:
Clearly identify varying surface conditions- Expand your sightlight with a wider viewing angle
- Eliminate fogging and facial irritation with enhanced breathability
& More…
Prevent Falls With The Best Skis & Boards
While you might not consider new skis or boards a safety essential, they can be. If you are cruising on an aging board or damaged skis, you may be exposing yourself to preventable fall risks. The most common issue is skis or boards that have lost their control and consistency due to damage to the edges and/or warping along the base. While it can be tempting to continue skiing or riding with gear that technically still functions, even seemingly minor damage can be the catalyst that leads to a serious crash.
In our diverse collection of men’s and women’s ski equipment, you’ll find cutting-edge ski and board styles for powder riding, variable conditions, and hardpack downhill terrain alike. You’ll also find a generous variety of tailored camber styles and side cuts that amplify the ease of turning, jumping, and stopping when those unexpected conditions catch you by surprise.
