Oakley designs its ski helmets to protect riders while delivering unbeatable style. The Oakley Mod5 returns this year with the patented MIPS system, which helps reduce rotational forces during an impact. Oakley ski helmets offer a balance of design, comfort, and protection for skiers seeking a complete helmet. Discover the full range of ski helmets available on Snowleader.
The renowned brand, famous for its ski goggles, also develops ski helmets with its Oakley Mod range. This includes the Mod1, Mod1 Pro, MOD3, and MOD5. Depending on the model and size, the range adapts to different head shapes, making it easy to find a helmet that fits your needs on the slopes.
The various models combine constructions designed for skiing with features to enhance comfort, ventilation, and fit. Explore the full selection of Oakley ski helmets available on Snowleader.
Each model in the Oakley Mod range is designed for different uses and levels of equipment.
The Mod1 features the look of a skate helmet, with an iconic and timeless shape that sets the range apart from the start. The Mod1 Pro keeps this style and adds extra adjustment options for a more precise fit, while remaining more accessible than the Mod3 and Mod5 models.
The MOD3 uses a lightweight In-Mold construction with the MBS (Modular Brim System), allowing you to choose a design with or without a brim, while ensuring a good fit with your ski goggles. It's suitable for regular use, from piste skiing to off-piste adventures.
The MOD5 is the top-of-the-range model, featuring several technologies to enhance protection and comfort. Its hybrid shell is Hardshell at the front and In-Mold at the back. Adjustable ventilation opens and closes with a pull tab on the top of the helmet.
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a thin layer placed between the shell and the inner padding. In the event of an impact, it allows the shell to rotate slightly relative to the head, reducing rotational forces transmitted to the brain. On the MOD5, this technology complements the hybrid shell's protection against direct impacts.
Beyond protection, a ski helmet must remain comfortable all day long.
Oakley Mod helmets use a BOA fit system at the back, adjustable with one hand, combined with Fidlock magnetic buckles that are easy to use even with gloves.
Warm air is vented to the back of the helmet, helping to prevent fogging on your goggles and keeping your head dry.
The inner liner can be removed for washing or to make room for a thin beanie in very cold weather. A rear loop also allows you to secure your goggle strap.
The Oakley Mod range comes in several sizes to suit different head shapes. The main factor in choosing is head circumference, rather than gender or age.
Oakley models for larger head sizes combine different shapes and adjustment systems to ensure a stable fit while skiing. To compare available options, check out the men's ski helmets selection.
Oakley helmets are also available in sizes suited to different female head shapes. The fit should remain stable without excessive pressure for all-day comfort. See the available models in the women's ski helmets category.
For young skiers, head circumference is the main selection criterion. A properly fitted helmet should stay stable without squeezing the head, while allowing enough freedom to move comfortably. Suitable models can be found in the kids' ski helmets selection.
A well-fitted helmet should wrap around the head without excessive pressure and should not move when you shake your head. The strap should also hold the helmet securely once fastened. Measure your head circumference above the eyebrows to choose the best size from the Oakley Mod range.
The MBS system on the MOD3 allows you to adjust the brim position for easier pairing with goggles. In general, make sure the top of the goggles and the bottom of the helmet meet properly at the forehead, without leaving a large gap. Trying both pieces of equipment together is the best way to check compatibility.
A helmet should be replaced after a significant impact, even if there is no visible external damage, as some structural elements may have been affected. Aside from impacts, regularly check the shell, padding, straps, and adjustment system for signs of wear.
Yes, if the model's design and fit allow it. A thin beanie can provide extra warmth, but it should not affect the helmet's fit. Avoid thick beanies that may create pressure or prevent the helmet from sitting correctly.
The MIPS system is designed to reduce rotational forces during certain impacts. Its benefit does not depend solely on how often you ski: a fall can happen during both occasional and regular outings.
