Sweet Helmets

Facing the challenges of life, the one thing you need is confidence. Sweet's team riders push their limits every day. The equipment, mind and body become one as they enter that first descent or land a new trick. The only focus is on the challenge at hand. All Sweet snow helmets incorporate:

1. Carbon-fibre reinforced composites
2. Neck-hugging construction
3. Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) shock absorbing padding
4. Fit pads - to customise the helmet fit

Our View: Incorporating carbon fibre into their ski helmets, Sweet Protection are leading the way in premium head protection. Helmets like Rooster, Trooper and Ramble are ideal for any skier or snowboarder who simply wants the best helmet around.

Pushing the limits since childhood, the Sweet founders never accepted the second best. So they made their own protection products. While all product development still takes place in Trysil, Norway, the search for perfection has since become a global project: travelling the world searching for the best materials available to make things stronger, lighter and better for ultimate protection.

The Sweet helmets redefined protection products when they were introduced and this progressive philosophy will always be the core of the company.

The Sweet range of helmets are worn by a number of ski and snowboard stars, including Norwegian snowboard legend Terje Hakonsen - look out for his signature Trooper (available late 2010). Sweet know that their team riders will never accept second best. Once again, they will be hitting first descents in AK, they will be hitting gnarly street rails and challenging lines at the Verbier Extreme. For the Sweet team riders, it's crucial to believe in both their skills and their equipment.

All Sweet helmets, from their first and purest, the Rooster, to the freshest member of the Sweet helmet family, the Rambler, are developed at the Sweet headquarters in Trysil, Norway. Even though developed in a remote town nestled in the Scandinavian wilderness, the quest for perfection has become a global project. Sweet travel the world in search of the best materials available to make their products stronger, lighter and better.

Sweet Helmet Construction
Sweet's goal when constructing helmets is to make a very durable construction that protects the head with less volume than usual. Sweet also want an excellent fit and a relatively low weight. In order to accomplish this, Sweet have developed a brand new way of constructing a helmet. The most striking features are the carbon fibre reinforced composite main shell, as well as the fact that all Sweet helmets are constructed as 'neck-hugging'. This means that the shell curves around the head and hugs the nape of the neck. Creating this can be done either by splitting the shell into two pieces or by molding the shell in one piece using a very sophisticated collapsible core tool with several sliders. With regards protection performance, all Sweet helmets share the same basic construction by using the following main components:

1. Carbon-fibre reinforced composites
2. Neck-hugging construction
3. Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) shock absorbing padding
4. Fit pads - to customise the helmet fit
