Yuk!!!! - Ski Equipment!

Protective Headgear now legal requirement in Austria for young persons

Ski Helmets Ski helmets used to be the butt of many jokes. Now they are hip, comfortable and could save you from serious injury. Helmets are also much warmer than the average cap or hat. How to buy a ski helmet - 1. Look for a helmet model you like. Some helmets cover the ears and others have ear flaps, and they come in a variety of hues from gray to neon yellow. 2. Measure your head. Wrap a measuring tape around your head directly above your ears and forehead.
