Orka in Black/Tie & Dye is a superlight junior helmet for kids who are getting serious about skiing or snowboarding. It weighs 320 grams and keeps a low-profile shell, so it never feels heavy or bulky on a young head.
The shell is built in-mold, fusing a light polycarbonate outer to the EPS liner. That construction holds the two layers as one unit, so the helmet protects without adding bulk, and that is where the low weight comes from. The EPS material is Salomon's standard shock absorption, taking on the energy of an impact rather than passing it through. The Custom Dial sits integrated in the liner, which means the fit is set with one turn of the wheel, even with the helmet on. That is handy when a thin beanie or balaclava goes underneath on a cold morning. Ventilation is fixed, so there is nothing to fiddle with mid-run and air simply flows through the shell. The liner comes out for washing, and the helmet is certified to CE-EN1077 and ASTM F-2040.
