Howard Head. The man who loved what skiing could be. For hundreds of years, ski technology barely changed. Sure, stronger woods made an appearance, camber came onto the scene, and tips and tails got wider, but that was about it.
Then one day in 1947, an aeronautical engineer named Howard Head went skiing for the first time. He was not impressed. Howard knew there had to be a way to make skis lighter, faster, and more friendly.
He set to work for three years, creating one prototype after another, and step by step, the Head ski came to life. With its plywood core, aluminium sheets, plastic sidewalls, and a continuous steel edge, it was a revolution on the slopes. Suddenly anyone could ski and have fun at the same time and the rest, along with the competition, was history. Since its conception Head strives to use the most cutting edge technologies in its products to help push the limits of our sport.
Head was founded in 1950 by Howard Head, an American aeronautical engineer. Inspired by his ski trip, he revolutionised skiing by creating the first metal laminate ski, using aluminium and plastic, which was stronger and lighter than traditional wooden skis.
Head designs and manufactures a wide range of sports equipment including skis, snowboards, bindings, boots, and tennis rackets. Their winter sports division focuses on high-performance alpine skiing and snowboarding gear used by professionals and enthusiasts.
Howard Head’s innovation introduced composite skis that were durable, lightweight, and easier to turn. This breakthrough set new industry standards and led to the widespread adoption of metal and fiberglass materials in ski manufacturing.
Proper maintenance includes drying and storing skis indoors, regular waxing, and checking bindings and boots for wear. Following care instructions ensures optimal safety and durability.
Head ensures all safety equipment complies with international standards, providing reliable protection for winter sports enthusiasts.
