FAQs About Snow Helmets
What size snow helmet should I buy?
To get the right fit, measure around the widest part of your head usually just above your eyebrows and ears. Then compare your measurement to the sizing chart on each snow helmet product page. A snug, comfortable fit is key to safety and performance, so don’t guess it. If you’re between sizes or unsure, reach out to our team as we’re always happy to help you find the right size online or in-store.
Do I need a snow helmet with MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) helmets are designed to reduce rotational forces during angled impacts, offering extra protection in the event of a fall. If you’re riding often, pushing your limits, or just want added peace of mind, a MIPS helmet is definitely worth considering. Alpine Beach stocks a growing range of MIPS-equipped options for both skiers and snowboarders.
Can I wear a bike helmet on the snow?
It’s not recommended. Bike helmets aren’t made for freezing temps or snow-specific crashes. Snow helmets are built with thermal insulation, better ventilation systems that won’t fog your goggles, and more complete head coverage. For both safety and comfort, always choose a helmet that’s made for snow sports.
How often should I replace my helmet?
Even if it looks fine, a snow helmet should be replaced every 3 to 5 years due to material fatigue and wear from exposure to cold, UV, and impact. If your helmet has had a fall, shows signs of cracking, or the padding feels loose or degraded, it’s time for a new one. Explore our latest snow helmet range for updated safety tech and fresh styles.
Do you need helmets for snow tubing?
While not always required, wearing a helmet while snow tubing is a smart choice - especially for kids or faster, steeper runs. Accidental bumps and collisions can happen, and a well-fitting snow helmet adds extra protection and peace of mind for a fun and safe experience on the hill.
