PARAGLIDING HELMETS
The importance of the helmet in paragliding cannot be underestimated, as it represents an essential element in the safety and well-being of the pilot. Beyond its obvious role of protecting against potential impacts in the event of a fall or collision, the helmet offers vital defense against the variable environmental conditions encountered in flight. Unforeseen turbulence, airborne debris or even the sun's rays can all be risk factors.
The choice of a helmet specifically designed for paragliding guarantees not only adequate protection, but also optimum comfort, appropriate ventilation and a secure fit, essential to maintaining the paraglider's concentration and performance in all circumstances. There are many different types of paragliding helmet.
