Burton helmets are made to keep you on the slopes safe. The helmets are made of a combination shell and foam that helps to dissipate impact energy without causing damage to your head. MIPS (Multi-directional Impervious Protection System) liners are an additional safety feature on some helmets.
MIPS protects your brain from angled impacts during a high-speed snowboard fall or botched landing. These are the most common types and severity of head injuries. It is important to have MIPS protection in your helmet.
The Right Helmet For You
A few factors are important when selecting a helmet. These include your budget, how you plan on using it (skiing or riding), and what types of features you want. As a general rule, it is better to spend money on helmets of higher quality materials.
It is important to choose a model that has a liner which fits comfortably and offers comfort. Ideally, you should have the option to adjust it. Many helmets come with removable, washable fitpads that allow for the best fit. Easy adjustment is possible with the magnetic chin strap on top-of-the-line models.
If you need more protection than just the lining, look for a helmet with an ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or polypropylene shell. These are more durable than EPS (epoxy-polypropylene) constructions and can handle more abuse. They are not as light as EPP foams and they don't absorb the same amount of force.
Also, consider the helmet’s weight and whether or not it has adjustable ventilation. This is especially important for long uphill slogs where you may need to take a break from skiing to catch your breath or cool off.
Budget snow helmets usually weigh less than 1 pound and are made for everyday wear. These helmets have thicker linings and are less adjustable than higher-end models.
A few high-end helmets such as the Smith Vantage MIPS or Oakley MOD5 have soft linings that can mold to your head. This helps prevent sagging while providing plenty of support.
When looking for a new headgear, the liner's thickness should be considered. A helmet too thin will make it uncomfortable and can cause your earbuds slip out. A helmet too thick will impede your field of vision.
Also, you should consider what type of foam the helmet is made with. However, EPS foam can crack easily and is the most widely used material in snow-helmets. EPP foam, which is more resilient to abrasion and springs back after being struck by impact, is safer.
WaveCel Technology
Anon's WaveCel technology may be worth a closer inspection if you are looking for extra safety. The technology replaces a lot of the helmet's EPS foam by small ripples which dissipate spinal energy in high-angle falls.
