| How To Dress For Foul Weather And Stay Warm, Dry, And Comfortable |
Helmets -- protective head gear -- brain buckets -- are worn by rock climbers, ice climbers, mountain bikers, road cyclists, kayakers, skydivers, paragliders, in-line skaters, motocross enthusiasts and motorcylists, auto racers, equestrians, hockey players, construction and utility workers, skiers and snowboarders; by professionals and amateurs, kids and adults, men and women. Wearing protective headgear is a matter of choice.
“Helmets are a viable piece of equipment for skiers and snowboarders, just as they are for any sport or profession where one might encounter a bump on the head,” states NSP’s executive director, Stephen Over. “But the bottom line is it’s a matter of personal choice whether to wear one, or not.” There is a wide variety of helmets available. If you choose to wear a helmet, it is important that it fits properly, is comfortable, and offers the appropriate level of protection for the activity of choice.
