Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello!
We are traveling from the States to Austria in January. Our 5 yr old will need a helmet and given luggage restrictions - we were considering buying one over there. We will be staying in Ischgl, however will be coming from the Linz area (visiting family first). Does anyone out there know of any decent fitters that in the region? I guess a better question would be, approximately how much does a youth helmet cost? Doesn't have to be top of the line.
Just trying to decide if it makes sense to bring one with, or get one over there.
Thanks in advance!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

€30-50 Euro will get you a decent Denise or Giro one.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

redhead0209, You will be able to hire one in resort. Makes no sense to buy something junior will only grow out of before next year, and the luggage restrictions would mean you are still having to take it back home with you

Supermarkets will probably be even cheaper than hiring. Perhaps €15-20.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You'll need to Register first of course.

redhead0209, check out the Intersport shops as they carry a large stock of helmets. There is an Intersport Eybl in the centre of Linz, just off the main shopping street, so it may be a good idea to take a look there before you go to Ischgl if you wish to buy instead of renting

Avoid buying in Ischgl it is a costly place
Mrs G lost a pair of goggles last year
Strange as it may sound a replacement pair were a lot cheaper on the Swiss side.
Great place to ski though
