Head Tucker Boa Snowboard Helmet 2017-2018

• PRICE: £85 / €100
• head.com

This winter Head are celebrating a decade of making helmets, and the Head Tucker Boa is an excellent example of why they’ve been able to reach such a milestone. It’s a high-performance model that’s designed with a low-profile, urban aesthetic in mind.

The Tucker Boa is one for serious riding; whether you’re straight-lining chutes or stepping to the pro line, the Tucker Boa will look after your brain. And it will do it comfortably too: Thermal Ventilation, a Beanie Liner and a neck gaiter keeps your head the right temperature and feeling cosy

Boa 360 fit means you can dial in the perfect size for you, and an all-new Cantilever construction prevents uncomfortable wrinkling when you adjust the helmet, too.

Head’s hardshell technology offers the protection you need, and it’s worth noting that the ear pads, and neck gaiter can be easily removed should you want a more skate-like aesthetic.

Oakley Mod3 Snowboard Helmet 2017-2018

• PRICE: £120-153 / €153-197
• oakley.com

Oakley’s Mod3 helmet, favoured by big O ambassadors like Stale Sandbech, uses a super lightweight in-mould construction method and, even more interestingly, it features their proprietary Modular Brim System (MBS). This allows you to change the helmet’s brim depending on the size of the goggles you rock, ensuring you always get seamless helmet/goggle integration.

You can get the MOD3 dialled into the specific size of your head thanks to its Boa Fit tightening system, and securing it is made even easier by the magnetic buckle on the chinstrap, which you can easily open and close one-handed even when wearing gloves.

The ventilation is well placed to funnel air through the MOD3, keeping your head a comfortable temperature, and should you wish you can chose to have the optional MIPS protection liner included.

This fairly unique-looking helmet is the perfect choice for all-mountain riders wanting to be comfortable and protected wherever they choose to ride.

Quiksilver Play Snowboard Helmet 2017-2017

• PRICE: £105 / €120
• quiksilver.com

This new addition to Quiksilver’s helmet range uses in-mould construction to produce a super sleek, lightweight model that will be perfect for any kind of riding.

The fit of the Play is easily fine-tuned thanks to the dialable fit system – turn it one way to tighten; the other to loosen it off – which sits integrated into the soft, thermoformed earpad/neck gaiter that you can also easily remove if you’d rather ride with a beanie. Inside, you have a mesh and sherpa fleece lining (also removable) for maximum comfort and moisture wicking.

The helmet is secured by a padded, fleece-clad chin strap that uses the magnetic ‘Fidlock’ buckle system for easy releasing even with your gloves on, and there are sizable, metal-lined passive vents strategically placed at the front and back of the Play to increase air flow, reduce overheating and whip out condensation.
