What is the look of a good ski helmet?

Classic ski helmets feature a solid frame protecting the ear area, moreover, it's usually possible to attach a chin pad to it. Two important conditions are: safety and comfort. The helmet should be put on the head tightly but not too tightly. The producers make efforts to keep the helmets as light as possible so that the skier do not have to strain their cervical spine and cervical muscles much. This applies to the largest extent with kids´ helmets. The size is usually given in centimeters, just as the hats.
