Wedze/Quechua helmets and goggles are designed to form an complete unit and prevent gaps between the top of the helmet and the goggles.

Compatibility

Use the adjustment dial to secure your helmet. The dial can be easily adjusted while wearing gloves. It also provides comfort and maximum safety. Turn the dial to the right to tighten and to the left to loosen.

Tightening dial

This type of structure, known as In-Mould, features a polycarbonate outer shell that is moulded directly to the EPS liner. The inner EPS liner absorbs shocks in the event of a collision. The whole thing is extremely lightweight. The In-Mould construction is more sensitive to everyday impacts. We recommend changing your ski helmet at least every five years or if it has sustained a significant impact.

In-Mold construction

Measure the circumference of your head (from the middle of your forehead to the top of your ears) and choose the right size. When trying on the helmet, you should not feel any discomfort. If the helmet does not have a visor, try it on with a pair of goggles: There should be no gaps between the two.

How to choose the right size and trying on your helmet

For your safety, your ski helmet must be properly adjusted:
- The head circumference must be adjusted using the tightening dial.
- The chin strap must be correctly adjusted. You should be able to fit two fingers between the strap and your skin. If it is not adjusted properly, the helmet will not protect you as it should.

Adjust your helmet once you have the right size

We recommend replacing your ski helmet at least every five years unless it has sustained a significant impact in the meantime. In the event of a strong impact, the helmet must be replaced: even if it is not visible, the internal material may be damaged and your helmet will provide less protection.

When should you replace your ski helmet?

Avoid wearing a hat, as this will create a gap between your head and your helmet and reduce your protection. If necessary, opt for a very thin balaclava designed for this purpose. 
Avoid putting a camera on the helmet, as this will compromise your safety. The standard does not take into account any elements added to the helmet.

A helmet keeps you warm: it is not necessary, and even discouraged, to wear a hat underneath

Helmets used for head protection when downhill skiing and snowboarding are required to meet the European standard EN 1077:2007. This standard ensures that helmets absorb shocks and are resistant to 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.
