Extreme sports like snowboarding demand gear that can offer toughness and comfort. If the equipment can’t take the beating, that could mean a mountain of injury for the athlete.

Comfort also plays an important role, as any irritation during critical moments of a competition can affect a snowboarder’s concentration. It wouldn’t hurt if they look downright cool too. Capix helmets tick all 3 boxes.

Extreme sports have long been associated with the Capix brand. They have produced for individuals and teams that demand the best when it comes to extreme sports. In snowboarding, Capix has even collaborated with Spy Optic to develop a unique line of helmets with the help of talented snowboarder Louie Vito.

The Capix range of snow helmets have been the choice of many extreme athletes for many reasons. Here are 5 of them.

Sustainable

Extreme sports like snowboarding should come with a big warning sign. Sports like these contain a very high level of risk and appeal to adrenaline junkies and those who don’t mind breaking a few bones or dislocating a couple of joints. That said, protection is still a must if you want to limit the number of injuries should an unfortunate incident occur. That is why the equipment you use must be of the highest quality.

Capix snowboard helmets like the Capix Spy Optic Louie Vito Collection are made with a high density injection molded ABS shell. ABS is a type of lightweight, strong, heat and impact resistant plastic. This makes it perfect for use as part of a protective gear set in extreme sports.

Comfortable

Capix snowboard helmets are comfortable thanks to the use of a high-impact EVA foam liner. The use of EVA foam provides fantastic shock absorption, durability and grip so the helmet stays in place during jumps, turns, landings, turbulence and falls.

Capix snow helmets also come with passive ventilation for off-season training.

Adding to the comfort and safety aspect are removable padding and removable ear cushions with a built-in neck roll. The Capix Louie Vito X helmet even has a locking system located on the back of the helmet that keeps the Spy Optic snow goggles firmly in place.

Good looks

It is a known fact that Capix snow helmets are quality, comfortable and durable equipment. But a look at the Capix collection of helmets would immediately reveal the obvious, they look pretty impressive too. And not just the ones with Louie Vito stamped on them.

Without a doubt, the Capix helmets seem to have been designed by snowboarders for other snowboarders. And not by a designer locked in a dungeon somewhere who hasn’t even touched a snowboard.

Capix snow helmets even have designs that would appeal to female and junior snowboarders who are just venturing into the incredibly competitive realm of snowboarding.
