Mens Snow Helmets can be priced anywhere between $100 and $200. Depending on your budget and riding style, you'll want to choose a model that meets your safety, comfort, and durability needs.
The MIPS technology can be found on many of the top snowboard helmets this year. The MIPS technology is designed to dissipate energy in the event of an angled impact and to reduce rotational effects that could cause brain injury.
WaveCel tech is another new snow helmet safety tech that's making its way into the snowboard market. It works a lot like Bontrager's patented cell-like structure, which is found in their mountain bike helmets, to absorb shock and minimize rotational force. Anon has been the first to include it in its Logan mid-range.
These hybrid in-mold lids are becoming more popular. They provide the most lightweight and durable option for riders looking to add an extra layer protection against dents and dings without having to spend a lot of money on a top-notch ABS shell. Generally, hybrid in-mold lids are a few ounces heavier than standard in-mold designs and don't save you much in price (often $200 or more).
The Smith Holt is an excellent choice for riders who get after it in the park, as it's tough enough to take a few knocks and is available in a wide variety of colors. The helmet features eight fixed ventes and is certified both for snow sports and activities for all seasons, so it can also be used to ride a bike or skate.
Oakley has been expanding their collection of quality snow helmets, and the MOD1 is their latest entry-level design with a simple look and a budget-friendly $100 price tag. The model's simplicity allows the company to fit more in than you'd think, with a magnetic buckle, Boa dial, and an integrated chin strap.
In-mold is a popular construction for snowboard helmets because it's relatively lightweight and doesn't compromise on durability as much as harder-to-build ABS or polycarbonate designs do. It is prone to cosmetic dents and dings, however, so you may want to consider a hardshell helmet if durability is your priority.
EPP foam can be found in many of the helmets that are on our list. This foam bounces back after impact, and it is able to withstand several hits without breaking. It's more costly than EPS, but it offers greater durability. Therefore, it's an excellent choice for aggressive snowboarders who are willing to take some hits without caring about the look of their helmet.
