Ski helmet with or without visor

Are you ready for a new ski helmet or goggles, then the question is: do we buy a new ski helmet with or without visor (ski helmet with goggles)? Below we describe the many ski helmet with visor advantages, for a great ski day!

Ski helmet with visor Advantages

 

Beautiful wide field of vision

The ski helmet visor gives you a beautiful panoramic field of vision and you can see up to 180 degrees on the ski slope! When skiing or snowboarding, you like to see what's going on around you, then you can react faster if necessary. Nowadays you also see ski goggles with "oversize" lenses to copy this advantage of visor helmets. However, you will never have the same wide field of vision as a ski helmet with a visor because you are always looking at the edge of the ski goggle frame.

If you decide to buy one of these ski helmets with goggles, make sure that the ski helmet and goggles fit together well. With a ski helmet visor, of course, you don't have this problem.
 

The ski helmet with visor is the ideal ski helmet for spectacle wearers.

For spectacle wearers, the ski helmet with visor is the best solution. You can simply keep your normal strong glasses (or sunglasses) on and your glasses and visor will not fog up because of the sufficient ventilation. When fitting, make sure that the visor slides well over the frame of your glasses! With many brands, the visor rotates just above the helmet shell. This means that the visor does not rotate easily for your glasses and it can push your glasses into your face. 

With the Swiss brand CP, the visor rotates extra far for your glasses and is the best ski helmet for glasses wearers. An added benefit of this visor is that you don't scrape snow onto the helmet. This prevents wetness and damage to the inside of the visor.
 

Ski helmet visor is comfortable, safe and adjustable

A ski helmet visor is very comfortable and does not press against the face like ski goggles, you can hardly feel it. In addition, the ski helmet sometimes pushes the ski goggles down as well. An additional advantage is that the visor protects your face better in case of a skiing accident. The visor of the ski helmet can also be easily replaced without tools, for example with another weather type or look!
 

Ski helmet with ski goggles in one - very simple

A visor helmet is very easy because you no longer have to put on or wear your ski helmet and ski goggles. You can't forget the ski goggles either, after dinner or apres ski. And when the weather is nice, the visor can be opened and closed quickly and easily, for example in the chairlift, even with gloves on!

Ski helmet with ski goggles for spectacle wearers is not a good idea!

If you don't want to use a visor helmet, but want to use a ski helmet with goggles, then day lenses or OTG goggles are an option. However, we do not recommend ski goggles for goggle wearers because if you are not active, there is little ventilation and the goggles fog up.
We hear this from almost all winter sports enthusiasts. For example, in the ski lift or in a restaurant. In any case, it's better not to take off your goggles so that your normal glasses stay at temperature and don't fog up so quickly. So the ski helmet with visor is really the best choice for people who wear glasses! The ski helmet with visor advantages are therefore enormous, below the ski helmet with visor disadvantages.

Ski helmet with visor Disadvantages

One disadvantage of a ski helmet with visor could be that you have just bought new ski goggles. Of course, you can always use them because the visor unscrews very quickly. Otherwise, you might make someone else happy with them or put them on the market. A disadvantage can also be that you don't like it. Such a visor takes some getting used to, but you get a lot back for it on the slopes. At higher speeds, e.g. faster than 80 km/hour, a visor is more likely to cause teary eyes than goggles. We ourselves are enthusiastic winter sports enthusiasts and have had a wonderful ski helmet with visor experience for years.

Our ski helmet with visor experience and summary

Our ski helmet with visor experience is super and especially as a spectacle wearer you just don't want anything else. You can simply keep your glasses on and they don't fog up any more. But visor helmets also offer many advantages for non-glasses wearers. A much wider view of the piste and finally no more pressure on the face of the ski goggles. The choice of visors is also huge and can easily be adapted to different weather or a different look.

And when the weather is nice, you can enjoy the sun in the lift because the visor can be opened and closed quickly. Even with gloves on and that's not possible with ski goggles.

So doubts about the ski helmet with or without visor are no longer necessary, because the ski helmet of the future is definitely the ski helmet with visor!
