Compare Oakley Mod1, Mod1 Pro, MOD3 and MOD5 helmets

Each model in the Oakley Mod range is designed for different uses and levels of equipment.

Mod1 and Mod1 Pro: accessible skate style

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.

MOD3: a versatile all-mountain helmet

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.

MOD5: the premium version

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.

The MIPS system: protection against rotational impacts

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.

Everyday fit and comfort

Beyond protection, a ski helmet must remain comfortable all day long.

BOA fit system and Fidlock buckles

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.

Ventilation designed to prevent fogging

Warm air is vented to the back of the helmet, helping to prevent fogging on your goggles and keeping your head dry.

Removable liner and beanie compatibility

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.

Men's, women's and kids' helmets: choosing the right fit

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 men's ski helmets

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 women's ski helmets

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.

Oakley kids' ski helmets

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.

Choosing the right size Oakley helmet

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.

Oakley ski helmets FAQ

Is an Oakley Mod ski helmet compatible with all ski goggles?

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.

How long should you keep a ski helmet before replacing it?

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.

Can you wear a beanie under an Oakley ski helmet?

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.

Is MIPS useful for occasional skiing?

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.
