Ski helmets – Protect your head with a stylish ski helmet

Britain and much of Europe is currently suffering from a cold snap with temperatures heading well below zero.  There have been many stories of the problems it has caused however what about the benefits. I headed up to Glenshee last Sunday and have never seen the mountains so white before, there were only small patches of heather popping through. While I had fun I did notice many more people wearing ski helmets this time than when I was there last, which was around two years ago.

Coming back I did think about how strange it was that we haven’t being wearing them all this time. After all skaters and cyclists wear helmets and have done for a considerable amount of time. While you could argue the dangers associated with those sports/hobbies are greater than skiing, there have been several high profile cases of accidents and deaths from not wearing head protection, Natasha Richardson sadly died recently while skiing in Quebec, Canada.

Maybe the reason many don’t wear a ski helmet is it's not seen as cool. However that may all change now that Vladimir Putin has reportedly been seen sporting a ski helmet.  For the fashion conscious Poc ski helmets are a top end stylish brand offering a good range of helmets to choose from, so seriously next time I go skiing I would like to invest in a decent ski-helmet and would suggest you do too, after all its a small price to pay to protect your head from brain injury or even terminal injury and allows your family not to worry about your safety.
