EXPERIENCE
The H100 is the 1st price in the Wedze ski helmet range.
It allows beginners and occasional skiers to ski in complete safety. This helmet meets the same standards as the others. However, its comfort and finish are inferior to other models. Don't expect it to match a more expensive helmet.
COMPATIBILITY
Wedze helmets and goggles are designed to form an integrated whole.
TIGHTENING WHEEL
The tightening knob is an essential part of your helmet's fit. This system allows easy, precise adjustment at all times, thanks to a knob that's accessible even when wearing ski gloves. The result is maximum comfort and safety. Turn the knob to the right to tighten, to the left to loosen.
ABS CONSTRUCTION
This type of construction incorporates an ABS outer shell, injection-molded to withstand powerful impacts. It combines durability with high resistance to bumps and knocks. The inner EPS shell absorbs shocks on impact. We recommend that you change your ski helmet every 5 years at most, if it has not suffered a major impact in the meantime.
EN 1077 standard
European standard EN 1077 applies to helmets used for cranial protection during downhill skiing or snowboarding. It is characterized by tests on impact absorption capacity and penetration resistance. There are 2 categories:
- Class A: Protects the top and back of the head, as well as the ears and side of the head.
- Class B: Protects the top and back of the head, but does not cover the ears.
SIZE SELECTION?
* Measure your head circumference in centimetres (middle of forehead, just above the ears).
* Then choose the size that covers this measurement.
Example: if your head circumference is 56cm, then try a helmet size 55-59cm.
TESTING
Take as much time as you need for the fitting. You don't want to feel any uncomfortable points. If you do, try another model. Always remember to try on your helmet with your mask, because not all helmets fit all masks. A helmet "matches" a ski mask when there is no air space between the top of the mask and the helmet.
HEADPHONE SETTINGS
During practice, the ski helmet must be properly adjusted and fitted:
* It must be chosen in the right size.
* The head size must be adjusted using the tightening knob.
* The chinstrap must be correctly adjusted.
It's a bit like the seatbelt in a car: if it's too loose, it won't do its job and you'll be less well protected.
SAFETY
Avoid wearing a thick cap under your helmet, as it will pull your helmet away from your head and you will be less well protected.
Choose a cap or balaclava under your helmet, which are very thin and won't compromise your safety. A helmet keeps you warm, so there's often no need to add a layer. You should also avoid adding a camera to your helmet, as this can compromise safety. The standard does not take into account the addition of elements on the helmet.
