While it\u2019s also imperative you arm yourself with a jacket, some gloves, and some goggles, a ski helmet is the only thing that can truly minimise your chances of injury.<\/p><p>The majority of resorts won\u2019t let you step foot into your boots without having one, but you\u2019ll often see that one guy who thinks he\u2019s invincible. And of course, if you want to dabble in a spot of apr\u00e8s-ski, then you\u2019re definitely going to want to wear a ski helmet for the inevitable tipsy slalom back to the bottom of the slopes.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-s-what-we-re-looking-for\">Here\u2019s What We\u2019re Looking For:<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>MIPS<\/strong> \u2013 stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System.
