The Best Ski Helmets of 2026
Oct 1, 2025
The Tenaya Spherical helmet blends style, protection and comfort to deliver a lightweight and crowd-pleasing brain bucket. The hybrid construction features a durable, hard-shell upper and an in-mold lower, keeping the helmet both strong and lightweight. Giro’s ball-and-socket design layers two interior liners to better manage forces from impacts: an outer EPS layer to absorb high-speed crashes and an inner EPP layer to handle slower-speed tumbles. The combination of progressive material layering with MIPS helps to redirect rotational energy away from the brain.
