Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right helmet size?
Measure around the widest part of your head, just above your eyebrows and ears. Compare your measurement with each helmet’s size chart to find the best fit. A snug, comfortable fit is essential for proper protection. If you’re between sizes or unsure, reach out to our team online or in-store and we’ll help you find the right size.
Do I need a helmet with MIPS?
MIPS isn’t mandatory, but it provides an additional layer of protection against rotational forces during angled impacts. It’s a worthwhile feature for frequent riders or anyone wanting enhanced safety.
Can I use a bike helmet for snow sports?
Bike helmets aren’t designed for snow conditions, cold temperatures or snow-specific crashes. For warmth, ventilation control, and safety, always choose a helmet designed specifically for snow sports.
How often should a snow helmet be replaced?
Snow helmets should generally be replaced every 3 to 5 years due to material fatigue and wear from exposure to cold and UV, depending on use. Replace yours sooner if it has experienced an impact or shows signs of wear.
Is a helmet recommended for snow tubing?
While not always required, a snow helmet is a smart choice — especially for kids. Accidental bumps and collisions can happen, and a proper-fit helmet adds valuable protection.
