Are there any Ski helmets really good at protecting against concussions?
Post Body

Hey all, so - I really enjoy skiing, but just last weekend had an accident resulting in my third concussion, despite wearing a helmet. That got me thinking - are there any ski helmets that are known for helping reduce in-head impact, through padding or materials?

I believe most ski helms are designed to mitigate hard external forces, like a rock/tree/rogue ski poles. I've been looking around online, but don't really see anything related to this in any specs or marketing beyond "wearing a helmet reduces them."

So r/skiing, any recommendations or thoughts on the matter?

Edit: Thank you all so much! I'll look into the MIPS helmets! You're all wonderful people! :)
