Application & Expertise

Head in Detail: Technology, Model Selection, and Accessories

Since 1950, Head has been shaping modern ski manufacturing. Below, you’ll learn how the brand came to be, which Head Ski and ski boot suits your skiing style, and which accessories are the best way to complement your gear.

Marke & Herkunft

Head Ski: From the first metal ski to the precision brand from Vorarlberg

Head was founded in 1950, when American aeronautical engineer Howard Head—after a frustrating first weekend of skiing in 1947—became convinced that there had to be a lighter, more precise ski. He quit his well-paying job and invested three years and about forty prototypes before launching the Head Standard—the first commercially successful ski featuring an aluminum sandwich construction—a design that was significantly superior to the classic wooden ski in terms of edge grip, torsional stiffness, and smoothness of glide. By 1955, Head was already the best-selling ski brand in Europe and North America, thereby leaving a lasting mark on modern ski manufacturing.

Today, this engineering tradition continues in Kennelbach, Vorarlberg, where Head still manufactures a large portion of its skis in-house, while ski boots are developed in Schwechat. TheHead Supershape e-Magnumexemplifies this legacy: a precise carving ski that consistently carries forward the edge control of the first metal skis using modern sandwich and Titanal construction.

Modellwahl & Einsatz

Choosing the Right Head Ski and Ski Boots for Your Skiing Style  

Which Head Ski is right for you depends on your skiing style and preferred terrain. The Supershape series is designed for precise carving on groomed slopes: short turn radius, high edge grip, and direct feedback—ideal for sporty carvers and ambitious on-piste skiers who value immediate response. For those who also ski off-piste, theHead Kore 93is a lightweight all-mountain ski that, thanks to its carbon construction, combines smooth performance on the piste with playful maneuverability in deep snow, without becoming unnecessarily heavy or tiring on the ascent.

When it comes to ski boots, fit is the most important factor: The Formula series is designed for a more comfortable, slightly wider foot and is ideal for long, relaxed days on the slopes, while the Raptor series has a narrower cut and delivers noticeably better power transfer for sporty, edge-to-edge skiing. We’d be happy to advise you personally and in detail in-store on the right combination of skis, boots, length, and stiffness.

Zubehör & Pflege

Helmets, ski goggles, and accessories for your Head gear

At Head, ski gear also includes the right head and eye protection. TheHead Radar 5K Photo MIPShelmet combines a photochromic visor that automatically adapts to changing light conditions with the MIPS system, which further absorbs rotational forces in the event of a fall, thereby significantly reducing the risk of head injury. Ski goggles with FMR lenses—such as the Contex, Globe, or Horizon models—automatically adjust contrast to changing light conditions, which makes a noticeable difference—especially in diffuse fog or blowing snow on the slopes—and significantly improves visibility in all conditions.

To ensure your Head Ski remain reliable throughout the season, we recommend regular wax and edge maintenance, as well as transporting them in a padded ski bag that reliably protects the edges and base from scratches and damage during transport. We’d be happy to advise you personally on other applications—either at our retail store or directly through our customer service.
