The Atomic Backland CTD Helmet provides us with a balanced feel in the backcountry on tours of any length. The hybrid construction balances peace of mind with weight-savings, while the ample ventilation helps us take quick laps without slowing down to stow this lid on the uphill. If we are unlucky enough to hook and edge on the downhill, we can focus on bouncing back up thanks to the AMID technology that is specifically designed for common whiplash falls in skiing and snowboarding.
