As a manufacturer for global brands, I've learned that a ski helmet has to perform in a wide range of conditions. The demands of a cold, icy day in Vermont are different from a deep powder day in Utah. This understanding is engineered into every helmet we build at SPIRIT. For cold, windy conditions, we focus on eliminating drafts, designing plush, insulated liners, and ensuring our ventilation systems can be fully sealed. For warmer, spring skiing conditions, we maximize the size and efficiency of those same ventilation channels to provide critical cooling. Our material choices are also crucial; we use polymers and composites that retain their impact-absorbing properties and flexibility even in deep-freeze temperatures. This commitment to all-weather performance means that a SPIRIT-made ski helmet provides the same high level of comfort and certified safety whether you're skiing on the East Coast's "ice coast" or in the champagne powder of the Rockies.
