Your safety matters as much as your style. At The Drop Rideshop, we carry the latest snow protection gear designed to keep skiers and snowboarders safe without sacrificing comfort or performance. From advanced MIPS®-equipped helmets to low-profile impact and crash pads, our protection lineup is built for riders who push limits but respect the mountain.

Protect What Matters Most

Crashes happen — even to the best riders. The right protective gear keeps you confident whether you’re carving groomers, dropping cliffs, or just learning to link turns.

  • Snow Helmets: Lightweight, ventilated, and packed with safety features like MIPS® to help reduce rotational impacts.

  • Impact & Crash Pads: Padded shorts and hip/tailbone protection that absorb shock and prevent bruising on hard landings.

Technology That Keeps You Riding

Many of our helmets feature MIPS® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) — a low-friction layer inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational force during angled falls.
Our crash pads use high-density foam, gel inserts, and ergonomic shaping to deliver protection that moves with you, not against you.
