11 best ski helmets for women
A helmet is an essential part of your ski equipment. As well as protecting your brain, a good ski helmet should be lightweight and comfortable to wear no matter where your snow adventures take you. The best helmets also have built-in ventilation to optimise airflow and removable earpieces to keep you cool, but never cold. We chatted to our guests and ski friends and compiled our list of recommendations.
