What should you pay attention to when choosing an Oakley ski helmet?
To make the right choice, there are a few important factors to consider:
1. Protection: At Oakley, almost all ski helmets are equipped with MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System). This technology reduces the impact of rotational forces in the event of a fall and significantly reduces the risk of brain injury.
2. Ventilation System: Choose a helmet with the ventilation system that works for you. Oakley offers everything from simple fixed vents to advanced systems that allow you to regulate your temperature.
3. Fit and comfort: The adjustable BOA system allows you to easily adjust the fit of your helmet. This ensures optimum stability and comfort while skiing or snowboarding.
4. Choose size: Measure the circumference of your head to determine the correct size:
Tip: Place a measuring tape just above your eyebrows and around your temples to get an accurate circumference measurement.
o Small (S): 51-55 cm
o Medium (M): 55-59 cm
o Large (L): 59-61 cm
o Extra Large (XL): 61-63 cm
5. Style and color: Oakley offers a variety of styles, such as the minimalist design of the MOD1 or the tough, technical look of the MOD5. Choose a style that matches your outfit and personal preference.
