Safety– there`s hardly something more important

Safety – there`s hardly something more important to think about before we run wild on the slopes. And while following the rules doesn`t entirely depend on us, the precautions we take to avoid consequences after impact, entirely does. Maybe the most important part of the equipment, which can protect us from serious injuries, is the helmet. That`s why it`s highly recommended to choose helmet carefully, which can perfectly match the sport and the style of our skiing. For children, wearing a helmet is a must. In countries like Italy, Austria, state of New Jersey and some places in Canada, its obligatory for children to wear a helmet, it is an actual law. In fact, even when there are no regulations, over 70% of all skiers around the world, prefer to ski with a helmet.

With developing technologies, the quality and the characteristics, which every helmet has, significantly increase, so that it can assure high level of protection and comfort. For amateurs (having in mind everyone, who`s not a professional skier or snowboarder), it is recommended to use a breathable helmet with soft ear sides, easily adjustable, allowing more freedom in movement, and made from extremely strong materials such as polycarbonate and hard shell.

If you like free-ride skiing, you need a helmet with least holes, so powder can`t get inside. The perfect version is the model HLMT 5 PRO created by the world`s leader in helmets – UVEX. With the specially designed IAS system, the helmet can be regulated in all directions, fitting perfectly on everyone, achieving optimum comfort. On the other hand, the particularly developed hard shell technology, expressed in highly resistant shell and internal EPS coat, which is softer than usual, so the head can`t be hurt, further increases safety.

Actually, most quality helmets, are based on the structure for combining external, shockproof coating, and the so-called “shock absorbing” internal coat, that isolates the hit and reduces tension. Choosing the perfect helmet is strictly individual. You are welcome in our stores, where besides the huge variety of models, you can find professional advice on the specifics of each helmet.

But let’s not be satisfied only with the protection of our body parts that seem more in danger. Body protectors are also important and can prevent many injuries. Most common are the so-called back protectors that can protect the entire spine. GILET MANIS 13 is one of the most revolutionary protectors, ever created by the other leader in the “security industry” – DAINESE. The innovative waistcoat breaks all known examples of classic design and sets new ergonomic standards. The new construction is designed to give three more degrees of freedom of movement, compared with the traditional models, allowing the protector to recreate all forms of the body while sporting. It folds, wraps and twists, following even the lateral movements of the body. Other special characteristic of the protector is that is made from special “alive” material that instantly solidifies when hit, and softens to protect the body in the moment of maximum impact, and take off tension.

All improvements of UVEX helmets and DAINESE protectors are made by professionals, who have long-standing experience in creating products, protecting the body from injury and whose only purpose is to ensure maximum safety for winter sports lovers.
