after reading a few threads (we're on a learn to snowboard week) a helmet seems like an essential bit of kit,,,,,does anyone know if you can hire them and how much for 6 days ??????
I recently hired helmets in Borovets through the rep and it cost us 46 lev for 6 days hire. A couple of people in our group brought helmets at cost of between 60-70 lev. If you are going to be skiing again your probably best to buy them. Aparently you can get them over here for about £20 at Lidl/Aldi. Di.
CONSIDER BUYING YOUR OWN, you never know if hire helmets have recieved a nasty blow and weakened the shell (damage is not always visible), and like wolvogirl said Lidl/Aldi sell them quite cheap and they conform to all EU safety regulations so no problems there.

Sorry forgot to add prices... Kids helmets were £12.99 each and i think we paid £26 each for mine and the wifes....much cheaper than hiring and you can be assured that a new helmet is structually intact!!!! I personnaly I would not ski/board without wearing one...
