What are the main trends in the helmet market for snowboarding in FW21/22 and how do you address them with your products?
No special evolution. In Rossignol range – TEMPLAR & ALTA helmets are still the best snowboarders option. We have a new helmet, called FIT IMPACTS. The retail price is 80€ (first price point for Rossignol). A very light helmet (400g) for both skiers & snowboarders.

Do you have any innovations in terms of design or materials for FW21/22?
New Fit Helmet. Still with the IMPACTS technology that is very important for Rossignol (on 100% of our helmets). It’s a all mountain Design – and the main asset is that the helmet is very light (400g) – you forget you wear a helmet.
