Burton helmets are designed to keep you safe while you're on the slopes. The helmets are made of a combination shell and foam that helps to dissipate impact energy without causing damage to your head. MIPS (Multidirectional Import Protection System) liners can be added to some helmets.
MIPS protects the brain from angled impacts in high-speed snowboard crashes or botched landings. These are the most common types of head injuries, so it's essential that you have a helmet with this type of protection to avoid any serious injury.
Choosing the Right Helmet for You
A few factors are important when selecting a helmet. These include your budget, how you plan on using it (skiing or riding), and what types of features you want. You should always spend more on helmets that are made of better materials.
A model should have a liner that is snug and comfortable. You should be able to adjust the liner. Many helmets offer removable, washable fit pads to ensure the perfect fit. Easy adjustment is possible with the magnetic chin strap on top-of-the-line models.
You can get more protection than the lining with a helmet that has an ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene), or polypropylene shell. These are more durable than EPS (epoxy-polypropylene) constructions and can handle more abuse. They aren't as light and absorb less force than EPP foams.
It is also important to check the helmet's overall weight and whether it has adjustable venting. This is especially important for long uphill slogs where you may need to take a break from skiing to catch your breath or cool off.
Most budget snow helmets weigh less than a pound and are built for all-day wear. These helmets are typically thicker and have fewer adjustable features than the higher-end models.
A few high-end snow helmets (the Smith Vantage MIPS, Oakley MOD5, and POC Obex) have a soft lining that is designed to mold and shape to your head. This helps to prevent sagging and ensures that the helmet doesn't feel too tight. It also provides ample support.
A major consideration when buying a new helmet is the thickness and comfort of the liner. A helmet that is too thin can make you uncomfortable and cause your headphones to slip. You also don't want a helmet that's so thick that it impedes your field of vision.
It is also important to know the type of foam that the helmet is made out of. Although EPS foam is the most popular material for snow helmets it can crack and become brittle. EPP foam is safer and more resistant to abrasion.
WaveCel Technology
Anon's WaveCel technology is worth a closer look if safety is your top priority. The tech replaces much EPS foam inside your helmet with small ripples. These ripples help to dissipate the rotational energy during high angle falls.
FAQ
What should I do with my luggage?
There are many options. The most common one is to use lockers at airports. These are typically located near the security zone. They can be purchased for between $5-10 per daily, depending upon the size of the locker.
You could also rent a storage facility. These units can be found in shopping centers and hotels. While prices can vary, there are some places that offer discounts for multiple units being rented together.
Another option is to hire porters. A porter will help carry your luggage from the carousel to your room. You pay a small fee each time he helps you.
Do you ever worry about forgetting something when you travel?
Yes, I often forget stuff. This is most common on short trips. Fortunately, I always bring everything I need, so I don't run out.
I always keep my passport, for example. And I always check whether I have enough money when I buy tickets.
My phone charger is always with me. Also, I have a small bag that I store my other items in.
