Salomon MTN Lab Review

The Salomon MTN Lab is a ski helmet built for a purpose. Resort hounds and lift addicts can move along; the MTN Lab is not for you. Those who toil to earn their turns, travel with a full avalanche setup, and those who seek solitude away from the hordes at the resorts, here’s your helmet. With a super light weight, massive venting, and a design that meets the rigorous safety standards for both skiing and mountaineering helmets, this is a backcountry or ski-mountaineering enthusiast’s dream. Furthermore, Salomon has included small touches that add significant value to the backcountry crowd. Pre-dawn skin? The MTN Lab has you covered with headlamp-retaining hooks on both sides. Warm day? Sweaty head? The Merino wool liner can be removed, washed, and even replaced with an included summer liner. It has its flaws, and it’s going to disappoint those who don’t understand and embrace its intended purpose, but if you find yourself out in the backcountry with some regularity and it fits your head, you’ll find a lot to like in the MTN Lab*
