Developed for regular skiers who want a light, comfortable, ventilated helmet that you'll forget you're wearing.
Compatibility.
Wedze / Quechua helmets and goggles are designed to form a built-in interfacing system and prevent the creation of space between the top of the helmet and the mask.
Tightening wheel.
The adjustment wheel plays a key role in keeping your helmet secure. This system can be easily and precisely adjusted at any time using the easily accessible dial that you can even use with your skiing gloves. It also gives you comfort and maximum safety. Turn the dial to the right to tighten and to the left to loosen.
In-Mold structure.
This type of structure, known as In-Mold, features a polycarbonate outer shell that is moulded directly to the EPS liner. The inner EPS liner absorbs shocks in the event of a collision. The whole thing is extremely lightweight.
In-Mold construction is more sensitive to everyday impacts. We recommend changing your ski helmet at least every 5 years unless it has sustained a significant impact in the meantime.
How do you choose the right size and try on your helmet?
Measure your head circumference (from the middle of the forehead and on top of the ears) and choose the right size. When trying it on, you should not feel any points of discomfort. If it is visor-less, try on the helmet with the mask: there should be no gap between the two.
Adjust your helmet once you have the right size.
For your safety, your ski helmet must be properly fitted:
- The head circumference must be adjusted using the tightening wheel.
- The chinstrap must be properly adjusted. You should be able to pass two fingers between the strap and your skin. If it is not properly fitted, the helmet will offer you less protection.
When do you change your ski helmet?
We recommend changing your ski helmet at least every five years unless it has sustained a significant impact in the meantime. In case of high impact, you need to change the helmet: even if it isn’t visible, the inner material could be damaged and your helmet will offer you less protection.
A helmet keeps you warm: you don’t need to wear a hat underneath, and this is even advised against.
Avoid wearing a hat, which will create a gap between your head and the helmet and reduce your protection. If necessary, choose a very thin balaclava designed for this purpose.
Avoid adding a camera which will compromise your safety; The standard does not take into account any elements added to the helmet.
EN 1077 Standard
Standard EN 1077:2007 is a European standard that applies to helmets used for cranial protection during downhill skiing and snowboarding. This standard tests the ability to absorb shocks and resistance to penetration. There are 2 categories:
- Class A: protects the top and back of the head, as well as the ears and the side of the head.
- Class B: Protects the top and back of the head but does not cover the ears.
