Looking to make people safer, twICEme announced it has partnered with the French outdoor brand Salomon to produce some of the world’s first smart helmets for skiing.
The helmets are set to be released in late 2022. The partnership will make it possible to scan certain Salomon helmets to reveal safety information such as parent phone numbers, exact location and other relevant safety information like medical history etc.
As people return to ski slopes post pandemic injuries and lost kids on the slopes likely will increase. The Salomon-twICEme collaboration can help set co-riders and loved ones at ease.
”Since there is a clear need from ski patrollers and rescuers that personal safety information is easily available for all, the collaboration with such a world-renowned actor like Salomon is a great possibility to further spread the word about twICEme as the global symbol of safety,” said Christian Connolly, CEO at twICEme Technology.
In the meantime, twICEme already is collaborating with some of the world’s most innovative brands like POC, Julbo, Dainese and more. As awareness around the technology increases within the rescue and skiing communities, twICEme aims for the global market. More partnerships are set to be released early next year aimed at even more awareness within the industry.
Looking back a few years at protection within the skiing industry it was rare to see helmets. This has fortunately changed for the better. However, the industry has come a long way since. Now there are a host of new ingredient brands entering the market like MIPS and RECCO. twICEme believes the best way to increase safety is to make equipment smart. In this way the equipment can be updated continuously to increase safety of the end user.
