ski helmet

Alpine head armor

A ski helmet is protective headgear worn while skiing or snowboarding, designed to absorb impact and prevent head injuries from falls or collisions.

Most ski resorts require them for children, and they've become standard equipment for adults as well: I never hit the slopes without my ski helmet anymore.
