Some helmets look cool, but a cycle helmet on the slopes wont and you will be carrying them 4 nothing! My bike helmets cost between 300 and 500 quid and a decent snow sports helmet wont cost much more than a 10th of that! Be safe
Last year hilst in Bansko. A russian Lad died on the slopes having collided with a tree. The next day our group of over twenty males went out and bought a helmet each.

Wearing a helmet is by far the most sensible option for safety and no one with a brain cell will mock you. I ride sports motor cycles and wear leathers which cost over a grand and £500 helmets.. You only have one chance in life so do gamble with it.. Enjoy your holiday.
Coming out to pamp next week with family, two daughters age 6 and 8. first time skiing, got ski packs booked through tour operator, will we get helmets in the package or can we hire them locally?
My daughter was 'taken out' on our local dry slope last week and landed on her head. Bad injury saved by her helmet, many of those watching, including seasoned skiiers, are now buying helmets!
If your kids argue point them to
www.headway.org.uk
and let them read about the effects of even fairly minor head injury!
Thanks for that purplemochin, I shall try that website and I also have a friend in Bulgaria who is checking prices there for us so I can compare prices.
after being a rep for 4 years in pamps i would always advise to rent proper equipment, if you are going to pamporovo the snowshack rent them and it will save loads of space in your case
