CASCO has been appointed the official helmet and goggle supplier to the British Children’s Ski Team. The Team are to be supplied with the SP Race helmets and goggles fitted with the new Vautron lens.

The first group took delivery of the new kit at the Team’s final UK training and fitness session at The Snow Centre, Hemel Hempsted.

British Children’s Ski Team Head Coach, Gareth Trayner, commented “The Team are really looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship with CASCO and we thank them for their support. All the athletes are looking forward to sporting their new helmets and gearing up to go super fast this season.”

CASCO ski helmets and goggles are the cutting edge of design and technology. The Edelholz style has a wood laminate finish which is probably the strongest material used in helmet manufacture today. The Vautron lenses come from the technology used in Apache helicopter window screens. It is shatterproof, optically corrected and photocromic.

CASCO UK Agent, Graham Slack added “CASCO have a reputation of supporting top athletes and we are delighted to continue this reputation by supplying the British Children’s Ski Team. The safety aspect is the primary concern for us and is taken to the highest levels. Probably the highest accolade for ski helmet safety is that most of the European ski jumping teams use CASCO. New technology allows the helmet to be constructed in a unique way giving an ultra light weight and safe helmet. Sir Chris Hoy and many of the British Olympic cycling track squad wear the CASCO helmets. The ski helmets and cycle helmets are extensively tested in wind tunnels for aerodynamic efficiency”.
