500 Ski Helmet - Kids

Wed’ze helmets and goggles are designed to be worn together.

The adjustment wheel is key for keeping your child's helmet secure. The dial, easily-accessible even with gloves on, allows for easy and precise adjustments at any time. It also provides comfort and maximum safety. Turn the dial to the right to tighten and to the left to loosen.

The helmet’s structure incorporates an injection moulded, ABS outer shell to withstand powerful impacts. It combines durability with a significant capacity to withstand bumps and blows. The inner EPS liner absorbs shocks in the event of a collision. We recommend changing your child’s ski helmet at least every five years or if it has sustained a significant impact.

EN 1077 is a European standard that applies to protective helmets used during downhill skiing and snowboarding. This standard tests the ability of helmets to absorb shocks and their penetration resistance. There are two categories:
- Class A: Protects the top and back of the head as well as the ears and the side of the head.- Class B: Protects the top and back of the head, but does not cover the ears.

* Measure the circumference of your child’s head in centimetres (around the middle of the forehead and just above the ears).
* Then choose the size that corresponds to this measurement.
Example: if the circumference of your child’s head is 49 cm, they should try a helmet in size 48–52 cm.

Take plenty of time to try it on properly. Your child shouldn't feel any discomfort. If they do, try another model. Always get them to try on the helmet with their goggles, as not all helmets and goggles are compatible. A helmet is compatible with ski goggles when there is no air space between the top of the goggles and the helmet.

When skiing, your helmet should be properly fitted and adjusted:
* It is essential to choose the right size.
* The head circumference must be adjusted using the adjustment dial.
* The chinstrap must be properly adjusted.
It's a bit like a car’s seat belt: if it is too loose, it will not perform its function and your child will be less protected.

Your child should avoid wearing a thick hat under the helmet that moves the helmet away from their head because they won't be as well protected.
Instead, choose a very thin beanie or balaclava that does not affect their safety. A helmet has good insulating properties. Often, adding anything else is pointless. Also, avoid attaching a camera to the helmet because it can affect safety. The standard does not take into account any elements added to the helmet.
