Whether you're riding at a resort, hitting the backcountry or busting countless freestyle tricks, your helmet is an important piece of gear. The helmet protects the head, keeps it warm, and provides a convenient way to mount an action cam or audio device to listen to favorite tunes.
The most traditional type of snowboard helmet is the full-face helmet, also known as the open-face helmet. It offers excellent protection from hard impacts on the ground. It's usually lightweight and breathable.
Some models feature a soft, comfortable ear pad to keep you toasty and protected. Some models feature special venting slots that help keep you cool while performing tricks.
Men's snow helmets range in price from less than $100 to over $200. You'll need to consider your budget and riding habits when choosing a snow helmet that will meet your safety, comfort and durability requirements.
MIPS technology has become a standard feature in the best snowboard helmets of 2018. It is designed for dissipating the energy of angled falls and can reduce rotational force that can lead brain damage.
WaveCel Tech is another new safety feature that's gaining popularity in the snowboarding market. It is similar in function to Bontrager’s patented, cell-like structure that can be found on their mountain bike and snowboard helmets. Anon offers it first in the Logan, a mid-range model.
Hybrid in-mold designs are a growing trend, offering the lightest weight and the best durability for the rider who wants an extra layer of protection against dings and dents but can't afford a high-end ABS shell. Hybrid in-mold lids tend to be heavier and cost more than standard designs (often by $200 or even more).
The Smith Holt helmet is a great choice for park riders, because it is durable enough to withstand a few bumps and comes in many colors. This helmet has eight fixed vents, and it is approved for all-season and snow sports. You can also use it to skate or bike.
Oakley continues to expand their quality collection of snow helmets. MOD1 is a new entry-level model with a simple design and an affordable $100 price tag. The model's simplicity allows the company to fit more in than you'd think, with a magnetic buckle, Boa dial, and an integrated chin strap.
In-mold is a popular construction for snowboard helmets because it's relatively lightweight and doesn't compromise on durability as much as harder-to-build ABS or polycarbonate designs do. It is prone to cosmetic dents and dings, however, so you may want to consider a hardshell helmet if durability is your priority.
EPP foam is used in some of the toughest helmets. It can withstand multiple impacts and springs back to shape after an impact. It is more expensive than EPS but has better durability. This makes it a great choice for aggressive riders who don't mind taking a few knocks and aren't concerned about aesthetics.
