Ski Protection Gear

Is Ski Protection Necessary for Skiing?

Skiing, a sport that involves high speeds, demanding snow conditions, and unpredictable tourists, can be perilous. Using high-quality ski protection is wise to prevent a wide range of injuries. Falling is common in skiing, especially for beginners still adjusting their balance. While more seasoned skiers fall less often, the risks are greater due to higher speeds, making any falls more severe.

Typical skiing injuries include torn ligaments, bruised hips, and bruised tailbones; more severe injuries can involve concussions or strained backs.

What Kind of Ski Protective Gear is Required?

The most essential piece of ski protection you can purchase is a ski helmet. Ensure it is certified for snow sports and fits your head properly. Fortunately, all our ski helmets meet certification standards. Although fresh snow is light and fluffy, once compacted on a ski slope, it becomes as hard as ice, necessitating strong protection for your head in case of a fall.

Ski back protectors and impact shorts offer similar safeguarding qualities. These are engineered to absorb falls' impacts and spread the energy to minimise bruising and muscle harm.

Another category of ski protection includes avalanche safety equipment. This is stored in a ski backpack and used for locating and rescuing skiers buried in an avalanche. Only skilled skiers with an understanding of backcountry skiing and rescue methods should use this safety gear.

Ski goggles are also regarded as protective equipment. They shield your eyes from the sun, wind, and snow, ensuring optimal visibility on the slopes. To explore our range, take a look at Ski goggles.
