What to compare

For helmets, compare fit, adjustability, weight and the activity the helmet is made for, since climbing and skiing helmets are built for different situations. For goggles, check lens fit with the helmet and the size of the frame. For ski poles, compare length, grip and material. For snowshoes, compare the size, the binding system and the type of terrain, such as packed trails or deeper snow.

Typical use settings

Climbing gear is used at crags, on multi-pitch routes and in climbing gyms. Ski helmets, goggles and poles are used at ski areas and on backcountry slopes, while snowshoes suit winter hiking on snow-covered trails. Matching a helmet to the sport and checking that goggles sit well against it are two common steps when assembling a winter kit.
