Lifecycle Assessment - Brigade Helmet

Most impactful component: The external plastic shell part of the helmet accounts for 23% of the overall impact on climate change.

The dyeing process of the cap inside the helmet accounts for 14% of the overall impact on climate change.

Top 4 indicators out of the 16 measured by the PEF method

• Climate change: emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing change in our current climate
• Resource use: use of fossil resources (oil, coal, and natural gases) and mineral resources (metal, sand, and rare earths)
• Particulate matter: emission of particles smaller than 2,5 micrometers
• Freshwater ecotoxicity: concentration of man-made pollutants (typically manufactured chemicals) in freshwater, impacting aquatic ecosystems​

The life-cycle assessment has been conducted with a third-party based on the European Product Environmental Footprint methodology. Functional unit: Protect the head of a skier.

BRIGADE HELMET

Sleek on the outside and packed with safety on the inside, the Brigade Helmet merges urban styling with the high-safety standards needed on the mountain in a versatile, minimal shell.

Salomon’s patented EPS4D technology offers superior shock absorption to offer all-around protection for your head. An integrated goggle retainer and removable 3-part liner make it possible to remove the earpads or the whole liner and wear a beanie underneath the shell, and the seamless strap retainer fully tucks away.

MaxFit construction offers better comfort and hearing, while the Custom Dial 360 V adjustment system has been upgraded, making it easy to adjust your helmet at neck level so it fits all around the head and not just horizontally.
