Fit Impacts Essential Black

Rossignol Fit IMPACTS Essential Helmet

This is Rossignol's entry into the multi-impact helmet category — built around a liner of 80% recycled EPP (expanded polypropylene) and 20% recycled cork rather than the standard EPS you'll find in most resort helmets. EPP holds its shape and protective properties through repeated lower-force impacts, so it's a practical choice for someone who's on snow regularly and doesn't want to replace their helmet after every minor knock or lower-energy impact. The shell is a "glue-on" polycarbonate construction: the outer shell and inner foam are molded separately and bonded at key points, which keeps weight down without going full in-mold. Fixed vents handle airflow, and the rear Dial R-Fit system gives you a range of micro-adjustment without needing to swap liners. Sizes run S/M (52–55 cm), M/L (55–59 cm), and L/XL (59–63 cm). There is no MIPS or other rotational-impact system on this helmet.

It's a straightforward resort helmet — no frills, no visor, no active vent controls. Rossignol built it with recycled materials throughout: the polycarbonate shell is 100% recycled content, the liner blends 80% recycled EPP with 20% recycled cork, the padding and straps are recycled polyester, and the ear pads are natural hemp. If you want MIPS or rotational-impact protection, that's not available in the current Rossignol IMPACTS range — you'd need to look at other brands or a different category of helmet. But if you're after a reliable, low-profile all-mountain helmet with durable multi-impact foam at a sensible price, this one earns its spot.
