The more conscious snowboarders, the higher the helmet wearing rate!
I want to enjoy a lot of powder and I want to go to the park.I want to master more carving turns.As the season enters, the tension rises sharply.I would like to suggest you to be aware of safety and wear a high-performance helmet.Recently, even in snow resorts, the number of limited open areas such as non-compacted snow areas and tree run areas has increased, but many places require wearing a helmet to slide.In addition, helmets are common sense not only in competitions of top riders competing for advanced skills, but also in freestyle scenes such as parks and half pipes.Helmets have become quite popular, even among advanced snowboarders entering the backcountry.Many conscious snowboarders have already begun to wear helmets.
Let's wear a helmet with safety in mind because we enjoy it as a family
I want to teach my kids snowboarding.I want to go to various snow resorts with my children.The time has come for families to enjoy snowboarding.Most parents put their children on helmets and give top priority to skiing safely.If you recommend children to wear it, we recommend that parents also wear helmets and enjoy snowboarding with the whole family in mind.Overseas, the rate of wearing helmets is already higher than in Japan, and the style of wearing helmets is well established in the family.Such a scene is no longer the standard.
What is the shock absorption mechanism of a helmet?
The role of the helmet is to avoid head injuries and fatal dangers to the brain when a strong impact is applied to the head.Originally, when a helmet is impacted, the helmet itself receives the force and breaks, reducing damage to the brain.Therefore, a helmet that has been damaged by a strong impact needs to be replaced.And in order to reduce the impact of that moment to the maximum, the important point is how the helmet itself functions at that moment. Unique functions such as MIPS and wave cell adopted by Anon work to instantly reduce the force without the impact directly hitting the head.It makes it even safer.
This is the shock absorption mechanism of the wave cell!
You can see that the wave cell-equipped helmet has a green wavy material placed inside the helmet.This wavy stretchable material absorbs the energy generated by the impact by deforming it in three stages.Hundreds of shock absorbers are stretched like a mesh, and the structure that connects the head and the outer shell of the helmet.It reduces the impact like a bumper in a car, and the cell bends and slides from there, absorbing the impact.
Stage 1> By bending the cell, the impact on the head is deflected.
Stage 2> By crushing the cell, it absorbs the impact like a car's crumble zone.
Stage 3> The cell moves slightly to disperse the bevel impact.
To make the helmet work properly.
The correct way to use the helmet is to cover it deeply and fit it so that it does not slip.So, first of all, it is important that the size fits you well.If you're crazy, there will be a gap between your helmet and your head, and it won't work properly when you're shocked.For snowboards, it's more important to have a snug fit than a typical sports helmet.Of course, if the size is not correct, it will shift due to the impact even when sliding, which will cause a problem of impairing concentration, so be careful.
What is the key to choosing a helmet for comfortable sliding?
First, improve the fit.The BOA® 360 Fit System should work very well for a more comfortable fit.Goggles may be worn on the helmet, so it is very important to check the fit including the goggles.
The other is the ventilation system.Helmets are much warmer than Beanie, and they also help prevent the cold, but when you exercise and your body warms up, heat builds up inside the helmet.If it is equipped with a ventilation function that allows it to escape smoothly to the outside, it can slide comfortably under a wide range of conditions.Ventilation also affects the fogging of goggles, so it is important how it works with the helmet. At Anon, we are considering the interlocking of the helmet and goggles, and we are also pursuing the interlocking of the MFI face mask to make it work seamlessly, so the level of comfort is very high.
Furthermore, I'm worried about whether the helmet can be attached and detached smoothly.You will surely realize that Fidlock®️, a system that allows you to lock the helmet buckle with one hand even if you are wearing gloves, will greatly improve usability.

Let's raise awareness of safe gliding by wearing a helmet!
As your riding skills improve, your speed will increase and you will be able to take on difficult challenges.However, it is very important to have an awareness of safety at all times.Of course, it doesn't mean that you can do anything if you wear a helmet.However, helmets can certainly reduce the risk of danger, and by wearing them you can always maintain the consciousness of "sliding safely".Put on your helmet and goggles before you start to slide and focus on your consciousness.That kind of concentration is very important.
