The helmet that keeps you safe & sound
von Svenja, Brand Marketing, Blue Tomato, 07.02.2020
Riding for almost 12 years I have tried many different settings and there is no either or when it comes to snowboarding - I love a nice hike in the backcountry as much as a day with my crew in the park. Switching back and fourth from all-mountain, backcountry and the park, I was looking for the right helmet that suits me in all surroundings and conditions. I want to feel safe in every situation, yet a good helmet should feel like you aren't wearing one at all. As my head is quite small, it was a bit of a struggle to find a helmet that works for me - however, the Salomon Brigade works in every way.
Naturally, riding in different settings requires different equipment and clothing. In the park I like to ride as comfortable as possible - so no disturbing frills. Although the helmet is packet with great features, such as the compatible audio system, its design makes you feel like it's not even there. Yet, the ABS shell with EPS liner always offers you the right protection. When I go freeriding, I like to cover as much skin as possible. Therefore, it is just perfect that the padded interior can be removed easily so I can wear a hood underneath. Respectively, another big plus is that the boa system stays in the helmet, no matter how much of the padding you want to remove. This assures a perfect fit in all conditions, especially when your head is a bit smaller like mine. The only bit of a struggle I had was fitting my goggles, which are quite big with square edges. However, with a little bit of adjustment of the interior padding they fit perfectly fine now.
If you're looking for a uncomplicated yet high-tech helmet I would absolutely recommend the Salomon Brigade. My advice is to take your time trying it on, try it with and without the padding, a beanie or a hood and most importantly your goggles - like that a good fit and a great shred is definitely assured.
