helmet hire

Can you hire helmets in Borovets, is any idea how much they cost? I'd rather buy for my 11yr old, but TKMaxx have sold out and i don't want to pay a fortune for one cos it's our 1st time skiing. Don't know whether we'll get hooked yet!

Buy when you get there (safer than hiring, you know it's not cracked inside or similar) x

If you can get to a Decathlon, they do helmets. We are in the same situation as you, first timers wanting to be safe but not blow a fortune and theirs were very reasonable. Having said that we did just get them for the kids, may consider hiring for us when we get there.

Buy a helmet over there if you can get a good deal.Meggy mentioned tescos and what about liddles,aldies etc.It would be cheaper than hiring or buying here.
