The Peak LT Helmet

EPS, or Expanded Polystyrene, is a lightweight foam material that provides excellent insulation and impact resistance. It is crucial for helmet safety because it absorbs shock during impacts, helping to protect your head from injuries. When choosing a helmet, look for one that uses EPS to ensure maximum protection during activities like skiing or snowboarding.

The Fidlock Buckle is a magnetic fastening system that allows for quick and easy fastening and unfastening of your helmet. This feature is particularly beneficial for outdoor activities like skiing or snowboarding, where you may need to adjust your gear while wearing gloves. The user-friendly design ensures that you can secure your helmet effortlessly, enhancing both convenience and safety.

In-mold construction is a manufacturing process where the helmet's outer shell is molded directly onto the foam liner. This technique results in a lighter and more durable helmet by reducing the number of separate parts. Helmets made with in-mold construction are often more streamlined and provide better protection, making them a great choice for serious athletes.

Mesh panels are sections of breathable fabric with small holes that promote airflow within the helmet. They are designed to enhance ventilation, keeping you cool and comfortable during intense activities. This feature is especially important for long days on the slopes, as it helps prevent overheating while still providing the necessary protection.

A helmet with dual certifications means it has been tested and approved for both skiing/snowboarding (EN 1077) and mountaineering (EN 12492) activities. This ensures that the helmet meets the safety requirements for each sport, providing you with peace of mind that it will protect you effectively in various environments. When selecting a helmet, dual certifications indicate a higher level of safety and versatility.

To determine if a helmet is suitable for your activity, check for specific certifications like EN 1077 for skiing/snowboarding or EN 12492 for mountaineering. Additionally, consider features such as EPS foam for impact protection, Fidlock Buckles for ease of use, and ventilation options like mesh panels. Choosing a helmet that meets these criteria will ensure it is designed for your intended use, providing optimal safety and comfort.
