Cairn RISE II VISOR Helmet

The Cairn RISE II VISOR Helmet: Integrated Visor and In-Mold Construction for Downhill Skiing

The Cairn RISE II VISOR helmet is designed for alpine skiers looking for versatile gear that combines wide visibility and lightweight performance on the slopes. Its integrated panoramic visor is what sets it apart: it replaces the traditional goggles while offering a wide field of view, without the hassle of attaching goggles to the helmet. Weighing 540 g, this unisex model from the 2027 collection serves as a complete solution for downhill skiing in a variety of conditions. Cairn also incorporates eco-friendly materials, including recycled materials for the shell and straps.

In-Mold Construction and Certification: A Solid Technical Foundation

The In-Mold construction of the Cairn RISE II VISOR helmet involves injecting and thermoforming EPS directly into the outer shell, which eliminates the interfaces between the two shells and reduces the overall weight while maintaining the structure’s rigidity. This technique improves shock transmission throughout the structure, contributing to better impact distribution. The helmet is CE EN 1077:12 Class B certified, the European reference standard for alpine skiing and snowboarding helmets. It also incorporates RECCO® technology, a passive reflector that allows rescue teams equipped with a RECCO detector to locate a skier in the event of a mountain accident, without requiring a battery or activation by the wearer.

Fit and Comfort for Everyday Use on the Slopes

The helmet’s comfort is based on several adjustable features designed for extended use. Here are the comfort features available on this model:

• Wheel Fit System: The adjustment dial allows for precise head circumference adjustment without removing gloves, ensuring a snug fit for every head shape.
• V-FIT Ear Pads: They adapt to the shape of the head for comfortable lateral support and are available in three helmet sizes (54–56, 56–57, 58–61).
• Removable and washable inner lining: The hypoallergenic foam lining can be easily removed for cleaning, ensuring the helmet stays hygienic over time.
• OTG (Over The Glasses) compatibility: the helmet is designed to accommodate prescription glasses under the visor without pressure or discomfort.

Panoramic visor and ventilation: visibility and temperature regulation

The Cairn RISE II VISOR helmet’s integrated panoramic visor is the centerpiece of this model. It offers an expanded field of view without requiring a separate goggle, simplifying gear setup on the slopes and reducing friction points on the forehead. The adjustable ventilation system, known as Thermo-Flow and Aero Flow, allows you to regulate airflow inside the helmet based on weather conditions and the intensity of your activity. This active ventilation system minimizes fogging on the visor and maintains an optimal internal temperature, whether in cold weather or during intense descents.

For alpine skiers looking to streamline their gear without sacrificing protection or comfort, the Cairn RISE II VISOR helmet is a solid choice. Its CE EN 1077-certified In-Mold construction, panoramic visor, and precise adjustments make it a helmet well-suited for regular on-piste skiing in a variety of winter conditions.
