Snowboarding Helmets
Snowboard helmets have become an integral part of snowboarding and are used by novices and professionals alike. Wearing a snowboard helmet is the easiest way to prevent head trauma. While wearing a snowboard helmet is still a personal decision many snowboarders are choosing to wear helmets while riding the park, half pipe, sliding rails, boxes or other snowboard features. Helmets have now become an accessory and part of a snowboarder's attire. They are often customized with stickers and often chosen by color and style. Most snowboarding helmets have the same basic construction featuring a padded foam interior that keeps the heat in with fleece lined earflaps and limited venting. The outside is usually a hard ABS shell with a low profile design. Zumiez carries many types of open-faced models that range from $49.99 to $89.95 and include features such as ear pads that have speakers, goggle gaskets and clips, and removable ear pads.
