Intro

One of Salomon's best products, it meets safety norms for alpine skiing, skimo and cycling. Padded with merino wool, it's a good old-fashioned ski/freeride helmet. Take out the liner and it remains comfortable, stable and weighs around 400 g / 14 oz. It offers optimal protection and a well-placed headlamp mount.
