Skihelm

With the Fornix BC, POC has a helmet in its range that offers pretty much all the safety features for ski helmets and is also very light. This of course makes it ideal for touring. We have tested how it performs in practice for you.

Flat light, icy nights and changing conditions - that's exactly where we want to be able to rely on our equipment. The Atomic Revent GT AMID helmet and Atomic Four Q HD goggles have been tested in the backcountry, on ski tours, skiing and snowboarding, day and night. Find out here how Merino comfort, AMID protection and HD lens technology complement each other and why good vision often makes the difference between hesitation and flow.

The all-mountain helmet from Atomic impresses with style and comfort.

What began as a creative response to a lack of high-quality equipment quickly developed into a clear vision: "Stronger. Lighter. Better." - the idea of better protecting athletes with state-of-the-art materials and innovative design.

The helmet stands out! But in the end, it's not just the colour that impresses, but also the gadgets. You can find the details, tricks and truths in the text.

Julbo was kind enough to provide us with a combination of the double-certified "The Peak" helmet and the "Quickshift" goggle. I have tested how the items perform in practice.

Julbo takes an innovative approach to helmets and goggles. For example, several high-quality ski goggles with self-tinting lenses have been produced for a while now. For the current season, they are being combined with a helmet that is specially adapted for use with ski goggles and is therefore designed not only to provide an optimum fit, but also to ventilate the goggles to reliably prevent fogging.

With the Symbol 2 Plus D, Scott is launching an award-winning helmet on the market which, according to the manufacturer, is designed to provide a whole new level of safety when skiing thanks to the D3O® inserts and MIPS® integration: The helmet is said to provide special protection against impacts at low, medium and high speeds.

The bobble hat used to be the best helmet for off-piste skiing. Nowadays, people (and women) often wear helmets on their backpacks when touring. This is only logical and, in my opinion, the helmet is far too often missing from the official list of safety components in off-piste terrain. The argument of additional weight only counts to a limited extent nowadays, as modern freeride helmets do not contribute significantly to the overall weight and hardly weigh more than an extravagant bobble hat. In any case, you hardly notice the Symbol helmet from Scott on your head or on your backpack on the ascent.

With the Clark, Marker is launching a new helmet in the freeride/freestyle category. The helmet is particularly impressive due to its very low weight and versatility.

Once again this year, PowderGuide partner companies UVEX, Blizzard and Tecnica invited a number of journalists from the sports and outdoor industry to get to know their latest products - even before the presentation at ISPO. This time the test took place in Zürs am Arlberg. PowderGuide was of course also there to take a look at the new products.

A helmet that you can hardly feel because it's light and fits your head perfectly - I've been dreaming of that for a long time. Can the Salomon Quest fulfill this wish?
