THE HEAD WINTER SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS 26/27: POWER YOUR PROGRESSION!
Feel the progress with every new product. HEAD has developed a collection for the 2026/27 season with this ambitious goal in mind. The result is unique, innovative products that make skiing even better and even more fun. DISCOVERY is the highlight of the collection. This is a completely new All Mountain ski that delivers real progress for every skiing style and on every terrain.
These skis are easy to ski with and easy to control. The more pressure you put them under, the more dynamic and athletic they become. DISCOVERY delivers the very best performance for all styles of skiing in all conditions, both on and off groomed runs. The innovative Progressive Flex combined with Auxetic technology and Superframe construction makes it possible.
Absolute highlights for the 2026/27 season include the new KALIBER PRO LV ski boots and the new WORLDCUP REBELS E.RACE TEAM JRS and SUPERSHAPE JRS skis for juniors. Equipped with a Dual-BOA® Fit System, narrower last, higher edge angle, and innovative technologies, the KALIBER PRO LV sets completely new standards. It is the most precise ski boot HEAD has ever developed. Thanks to its perfect fit, the KALIBER PRO LV offers a totally new level of performance for athletic skiers. The ski boot has been designed to make perfect use of all the advantages of BOA® technology.

They are built with the best materials and technologies adopted from adult skis to offer outstanding performance and durability. And they turn talented skiers into even better skiers who will enjoy having even more fun while skiing.

More highlights for the 2026/27 season:
PROTECTOR+ Freeflex is now available in the racing segment
The new PROTECTOR+ Freeflex binding brings tried-and-tested Full Heel Release technology to the racing sector. It delivers maximum performance and enhanced safety at competition speed. Thanks to the vertical and horizontal release at the heel, the PROTECTOR+ Freeflex reduces the force acting on the anterior cruciate ligament by more than 50 per cent according to simulations carried out with this binding by the University of Innsbruck. This can significantly reduce the risk of knee injuries. [1]

PROTECTOR EVO - even more safety & comfort
The combination of Full Heel Release technology at the heel and BTR kinematics at the toe means that the new PROTECTOR EVO binding provides enhanced safety on groomed runs and during All Mountain skiing. With its revised release kinematics, the new binding is not only easier to step in and out of, it is also easier to adjust the DIN setting. The updated heel section features a more compact and weight-optimised eye-catching design.

NEVES SUNSCREEN CONTROL - automatic visor adaptation when you want it, manual control when you need it.
In automatic mode, the visor adapts to the lighting conditions within fractions of a second, while in manual mode it remains deliberately bright, which is ideal for changing light conditions and low contrasts. NEVES SUNSCREEN CONTROL combines automatic convenience with precise vision control for optimum visibility in changing conditions.
YUKI - children love it. Parents trust it.
The new YUKI is a children's ski helmet that fits perfectly, keeps kids warm, and perfectly integrates with ski goggles so there are no gaps. It provides a precise, secure fit, seamless ski goggle integration, and is comfortable to wear throughout the entire ski day. The height-adjustable SphEar Fit System enables vertical adjustment, including the ear pads provided, for a perfect fit and seamless integration of ski goggles. The Beanie Comfort design snugly cushions the head and neck and keeps young skiers nice and warm. Kid-friendly details such as pre-mounted clips to hold the ski goggles in place and an ingenious ventilation system make this helmet safe and easy to handle. The YUKI helmet is also available as a visor version as an option.
