When it comes to skiing safely, choosing the right helmet is fundamental. More than just an accessory, it is the first line of defense against accidents, combining Aurak's high-end technical excellence with distinctive style.
The Challenge: Absolute Safety Without Compromising Design
Ski helmets are mainly distinguished by their manufacturing methods: in-mold technology and artisanal ABS shells.
Why prioritize the Aurak option to effectively protect your entire family?
The Thick ABS Shell: The Difference That Protects
At Aurak, the shell is made of ABS between 2 and 2.5 mm thick, far from the thin plastic in-mold shells on the market. This ultra-durable polymer, also used in automotive bodywork, absorbs major impacts and resists penetration by sharp objects like branches and rocks better than standard solutions.

Advantages of ABS:
- Excellent durability and impact resistance
- Superior protection against penetration by sharp objects
- Greater longevity, even after multiple falls
- Shells are repairable and less prone to superficial marks
- Ideal for skiers seeking maximum safety and reliable protection
Disadvantages of ABS:
- Slightly heavier than in-mold helmets: Aurak helmets weigh on average 670 grams, balancing durability with manageable weight
- Less breathable, requiring good ventilation: Aurak helmets feature a ventilation system with 20 air outlets 360° around the head for optimal airflow
- More rigid, sometimes perceived as less comfortable for occasional use: Aurak helmets are equipped with 13 comfort cushions made of alcantara-style fabric to enhance comfort
The Geometric EPS Foam for Energy Absorption
The interior foam of an Aurak helmet is not flat but designed with innovative geometry. This shape better distributes impact energy and significantly reduces the force transmitted to the head, well below the limits imposed by European EN 1077 standards.
Keep in mind: Deceleration measurements on Aurak helmets are often less than half the maximum allowed values, ensuring advanced protection for adults and children.
A big plus: Suitable for regular use even in difficult conditions, the EPS foam also offers superior comfort and durability.
Metal Straps and Fasteners: Maximum Security
One of the weak points of classic helmets is plastic elements that can break during crashes. Aurak opts for virtually unbreakable metal rings and fasteners, tested to remain reliable in all conditions.
Coordinating Your Gear: Style and Excellence
At Aurak, the helmet is only part of the premium range. We combine the ABS or carbon helmet with visor, mask, sunglasses, gloves, and carrying bag for a coherent, comfortable, and exclusive look.
