Helmet Fit Check:
- Your helmet should fit snugly and square on your head. Make sure that it is not tilted too far back or forward on your head.
- Cheek pads touch, but do not press uncomfortably.
- Make sure there are no gaps around your temples, brow or back of the neck
- With the straps securely fastened, shake your head slightly from side to side and back and forth. If it moves or feels loose, then it is too big. (Also remember that the comfort liner will compress a little with use, so a new helmet should fit as tight as you can comfortably wear.)
- Again with the straps fastened, try to roll the helmet forward off your head. If you can get it off, it is too big.
- Feel for any pressure spots. Check for any soreness or red spots after you remove the helmet. If you find any, try the next size up or a different model. All brands fit a little different, so try on multiple styles for the best fit.

Technical Info
IMPACTS TECHNOLOGY
After taking into account the actual day-to-day abuse a ski helmet suffers including storage, transport, and usage, Rossignol has developed a new technology that protects you longer. Even low density shocks that leave no visible trace can alter the protection helmets provide and negatively affect resistance to future impacts.
New IMPACTS technology provides more reliable durability and improves protection against multiple impacts without compromising on weight, style or comfort.
RACE FIT
A precise fit for this full-shell helmet with fixed ear pads, enveloping the head up to the cheeks.
ABS HARD SHELL CONSTRUCTION
ABS construction features and external 3mm ABS shell that is separately injection molded, allowing easier incorporation of vents and less visual affects due to light impacts. This lightweight in mold construction features an external 1mm polycarbonate (PC) sheet with internal absorption foam injected directly inside the shell, providing a lower volume design and precise fit.
AIRFLOW CHANNELS
Vents in the front of the helmet, together with ventilation channels between the two liner layers, provide constant circulation of air without cold spots or direct contact with the head.
