Compatibility
Wedze helmets and goggles are designed to be worn together.
Adjustment dial
The adjustment dial is key to keeping your child’s helmet secure. The dial allows for easy and precise adjustments, even with gloves on. It also provides maximum comfort and safety. Turn the dial to the right to tighten and to the left to loosen.
ABS structure
The helmet’s structure incorporates an injection moulded, ABS outer shell to withstand powerful impacts. Durable and resistant to bumps and blows. The internal Epos skullcap absorbs impact during collisions. We recommend changing your ski helmet at least every five years or if it has sustained a significant impact.
EN 1077 standard
EN 1077:2007 is a European standard that applies to downhill skiing and snowboarding protective helmets. This standard tests the ability of helmets to absorb shocks and resist penetration. 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.
What size?
* 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.
Fitting
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 the helmet with their mask, because not all helmets go with all masks. A helmet is compatible with a ski mask when there is no air space between the top of the goggles and the helmet.
Helmet adjustment
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 seat belt: if it is too loose, it will not perform its function and your child will not be properly protected.
Safety
Your child shouldn’t wear a thick hat under the helmet, as this reduces protection.
Instead, choose a very thin beanie or balaclava. A helmet has good insulating properties. Often, adding anything else is pointless. Avoid attaching a camera to the helmet as it can affect safety. The standard does not take into account any elements added to the helmet.
