The Salomon Driver Prime SIGMA™ Plus MIPS® Visor Ski Helmet brings together premium impact protection, advanced lens technology and exceptional comfort in a sophisticated all-in-one design. Combining the convenience of an integrated visor with the performance and visibility of traditional ski goggles, this premium helmet features Salomon's MIPS®, EPS4D and Smart Safety 360 protection technologies, a precision BOA® Fit System and two interchangeable magnetic SIGMA™ visors. Finished in classic black, it's an excellent choice for piste and all-mountain skiers seeking outstanding protection, visibility and all-day comfort.
At the heart of the Driver Prime is Salomon's comprehensive approach to impact protection. MIPS® technology is designed to help reduce rotational forces transmitted to the head during certain angled impacts, while patented EPS4D construction enhances energy absorption from vertical and oblique impacts. Salomon's Smart Safety 360 system combines EPS4D with strategically positioned EPP material surrounding the head for additional impact management. These technologies work alongside a durable hybrid shell construction, combining an injected ABS upper shell with a lightweight In-Mould lower section for an excellent balance of strength, protection and ventilation.
The integrated SIGMA™ Black Gold visor features a Category 3 tint with 13% visible light transmission (VLT), making it particularly well suited to bright sunshine and clear mountain conditions. Salomon's advanced SIGMA™ technology enhances colour contrast, helping skiers distinguish subtle variations in snow texture, terrain contours and obstacles with greater confidence. The Black Gold lens provides comfortable vision in high-glare conditions while maintaining excellent terrain definition.
When the weather becomes cloudier, the included SIGMA™ Ice Blue spare visor offers a Category 2 tint with 31% VLT, allowing more light through for improved visibility in partly cloudy and mixed conditions. Both lenses benefit from Salomon's Amplified Vision design, providing expansive horizontal and vertical peripheral visibility. The intuitive magnetic lens-changing system allows the visors to be swapped quickly and securely, giving skiers the flexibility to adapt their vision to changing weather throughout the day.
The innovative Motion Shield Advanced mechanism allows the visor to be smoothly raised or lowered, closely replicating the natural movement and positioning of traditional ski goggles. The accommodating visor design also fits comfortably over suitable prescription glasses, making the Driver Prime particularly appealing to skiers who prefer not to wear contact lenses or separate goggles.
Comfort is equally impressive. The micro-adjustable BOA® Fit System allows precise adjustment around the head, while Salomon's MaxFit construction and anatomically shaped 3D ear pads provide a secure, comfortable fit. A soft, breathable 100% merino wool lining helps regulate temperature and manage moisture, while adjustable Active Ventilation allows airflow to be increased or reduced according to weather conditions and activity levels.
A convenient FIDLOCK® magnetic-mechanical buckle makes fastening and removing the helmet straightforward, even when wearing gloves. The removable, washable lining adds everyday practicality, while the included helmet bag provides convenient protection during storage and transport.
Combining Salomon's advanced safety technologies with two versatile SIGMA™ visors, premium fit adjustment and comfortable all-day construction, the Driver Prime SIGMA™ Plus MIPS® is an excellent choice for skiers seeking a high-performance visor helmet that delivers exceptional protection, visual clarity and convenience across changing mountain conditions.
