HEAD

Created in 1960, HEAD is a pioneer in the use of new technologies and techniques. The first company to incorporate aluminium into a ski, the brand quickly became a key player in the ski market.

Head manufactures equipment for winter sports (skis, snowboards, boots) as well as for leisure and competition. The brand is represented by world-class athletes such as Alexis Pinturault, Ted Ligety, Bode Miller and Aksel Lund Svindal in the men's category and Lindsey Vonn in the women's category.

Like most ski manufacturers, Head offers a wide range of categories, from Race skis to Freestyle skis to All Mountain and Speed skis. These categories are adapted to the type of practice envisaged, whether it is for competition on hard snow, leisure skiing on the slopes, off-piste skiing in powder or versatile skis for any practice. Head has also distinguished itself by producing an intelligent ski capable of adapting to the snow through electronic chips, notably with Intelligence and KERS technologies (similar to F1) on the recovery of mechanical energy from the ski.

Head ski boots come in several categories: the Raptor range, very rigid boots used by professionals with a flex index that can reach 160, the Vector range, for less rigid competition with a maximum flex of 120, and a comfort Edge range with much softer boots but consequently less precise that can be found in rental with a flex that is generally between 70 and 90.
