Dainese ski helmets are designed around the skier's head, encircling it and offering maximum protection and lightness, with a functional design enhancing performance. ELEMENTO sets the standard in terms of lightness and protection. Its durable and lightweight polycarbonate shell and EPS inner shell are able to absorb the most violent impacts, and exceed the strictest European and North American certification standards – CE EN 1077 type B and ASTM F-2040 – while ensuring an extremely low helmet weight. The large central ventilation holes are positioned at the point of greatest air pressure and allow the flow inside the helmet to be channeled, transporting excess moisture and heat to the outside. The inside of the helmet comprises a warm and breathable thermoformed lining, which makes the helmet very comfortable, allowing for the rapid absorption of sweat and moisture. The geometry of the ear section is inspired by the auxetic shapes present in nature, shapes that expand in every direction as a result of an impact or stress. Soft and breathable, it comfortably envelops while allowing the wearer to freely perceive sounds coming from outside. The buckle closure is durable and easy to operate even when wearing gloves. The rear mask clip is made of silicone, with a practical metal button.
