LowDown Helmets Brings Timeless Style To The Slopes

Family-Owned Colorado Company Breaking Through in Ski/Snowboard Markets

Carbondale, CO (Oct. 1, 2024)—LowDown Helmets is a family-owned company that offers ski and snowboard helmets with a sleek retro look, modern safety standards, and unparalleled comfort. It has found its place in a crowded market by offering four distinct styles that have established it as a new classic in ski and snowboard helmets.

Founded by the sister-brother duo of Courtney and Steve Eaton, LowDown Helmets is based in Carbondale, Colorado and is committed to designing and developing helmets that bridge the gap between superior function, safety and timeless style. The company’s signature aesthetic traces back to a family trip to Italy and glimpses of the country’s retro-style motorcycle helmets. LowDown Helmets has taken the classic look of those helmets and developed a full-coverage helmet design meticulously hand made in small batches in Italy. Each helmet meets the following safety certifications; ASTM F2040-18 (US) and EN 1077:2007 (European) class A specifications for skiing and snowboarding.

 All LowDown Helmets offer a quick-release buckle, adjustable chin strap and a full coverage design that allows skiers and snowboarders to comfortably wear various models of goggles and sunglasses. They also provide increased air circulation with an integrated venting system and CoolMax™ liner material. LowDown Helmets offers a 30-day return policy and free ground shipping on all U.S. helmet orders, as well as international shipping options to Europe.

The Classic LowDown Helmet comes in four graphic options that include the Stoked (above, far left), the Drifter (second from left), the Outtasight (second from right), and the Stellar (far right), $298 MSRP.

LowDown Helmets also pledges to give back 1% of their annual sales to grassroots environmental causes through its membership of 1% for the Planet.

“We couldn’t be more stoked to bring this classically cool new helmet style to the ski and snowboard world,” said co-founder Steve Eaton. “With a retro style like no other and an extremely comfortable fit, we hope to encourage more people to wear helmets while on the slopes. See you out there!” 

 

About Lowdown Helmets

LowDown Helmets is a unique family-owned ski and snowboard helmet company nestled in Carbondale, Colorado. Our journey began with a once in a lifetime family trip to Italy, where the charm of old-school classic retro-style motorcycle helmets ignited our inspiration. From that moment, the vision of blending that sleek retro look with modern safety standards and unparalleled comfort took root, paving the way for our venture into the world of ski and snowboarding helmets. In a market dominated by a few major brands focusing primarily on function and safety, we recognized a gap – the need for style. LowDown Helmets emerged to bridge that gap, offering a full-coverage helmet meticulously hand made in small batches in Italy. Our commitment goes beyond just safety; we bring you a helmet with a cool and unique aesthetic, redefining the way you approach winter sports gear.
