How to choose the size of a child's ski helmet? 

Choosing the right size ski helmet for a child is crucial to ensuring their safety and comfort on the slopes.

To determine the correct size, first measure the circumference of the child's head using a measuring tape.

Place it above the eyebrows and ears, where the headset will rest.

Then consult the helmet manufacturer's size guide to find the correspondence between the measurement obtained and the size of the helmet.

It is essential to choose a size that ensures a secure and comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose.

A helmet that is too large may not provide adequate protection, while a helmet that is too small will be uncomfortable and ineffective.

Make sure the accessory fits evenly on the head, without excessive pressure points.

It is highly recommended to try on the helmet before purchasing to ensure proper fit.

Preferably opt for a model equipped with an adjustment system to allow a personalized fit.

 A helmet with adjustable features could be a good idea to support your child's growth and extend the life of the accessory.

How do you know if a ski helmet is the right size?

To determine if a ski helmet is the right size, follow these simple steps.

Start by measuring the head circumference at the eyebrows and ears, then refer to the manufacturer's size guide to find the match. 

Proper fit means that the helmet should fit tightly to the head while providing full coverage of the forehead without sliding backwards.

Attach the helmet and perform head movements to assess its stability.

If the helmet swivels or moves easily, it is probably too big.

On the other hand, if the user feels painful pressure points, the helmet may be too small.

Trying before you buy and using available adjustment systems can also help ensure optimal fit and your safety when hitting the slopes.
