Mail for help.Help!!
Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Should I get my Ski Helmet tested after a tumble

I got a reply from Bolle ....

I read somewhere that helmets (albeit MTB) had a lifetime of 2 years... but then I'm sure that's just a ploy by the manufacturers to sell more!!!

Personally I would get a new helmet just because there is a much larger range of designs etc out there now and some look pretty cool!

Hi David,

Thank you for your enquiry.


After a shock, the helmet may be partially damaged as it has absorbed the impact’s energy. This is why a helmet that has been in a violent accident should not be worn again. Even if there is no visible damage, its original characteristics may have been affected. So yes it should be replaced.

You may also be interested to know that a helmet’s properties change over time. We therefore recommend you replace your helmet every 5 years.



I hope this information helps?



Best regards, Natalie

The 5 year replacement rule seems to be fairly industry standard advice. I find that tends to fit in quite well with the point where they start to whiff a bit anyway!
