Salomon Orka Visor, KM 5356 review

A children’s visor helmet that solves the lost-goggle problem, sized in a code only the maker uses.

The bottom line The right idea for a child, sold in a size nobody outside the maker can read.

The visor

Der Visierhelm, den sogar die jüngsten Rider gerne tragen — and then the reason: sodass du klare Sicht hast und nie wieder nach deiner Skibrille suchen musst. Never look for your goggles again.

On a child that is the whole argument. The goggle is the item that gets left on the lift, and a hinged screen cannot be.

The fit

A dial system, stated to adjust quickly to the head shape of young riders who are still growing.

What is not stated is the head circumference. The size is KM 5356, which is the maker’s own code.

The shell

In-mould, stated to reduce the weight. The ALPINA on this shelf is a hardshell instead; the two are the standard pair of answers, and this is the lighter one.

The price across five stores

63.99 in Britain. 78.49 in Germany. 98.20 in France. 110.00 in Italy and Spain. The American store does not carry it.

Availability

One check, 78 € at the bottom and 110 € at the top, across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops.

Outside the euro, the British Amazon shop sells it in its own currency, and the range above is kept clear of that.

An empty answer from the American Amazon shop: the buy button there opens a search instead of a blank page.

The declared figures, and where they run out

Strengths

  • A visor on a child’s helmet: no goggle to lose, no strap to fight, nothing to fog on the chairlift
  • A dial adjuster, stated as made for heads that are still growing
  • An in-mould shell, which is the lighter of the two constructions on this shelf

Compromises

  • The size is "KM 5356" — a maker’s code, not a centimetre bracket
  • No vent count, no class, no rotational protection
  • The Italian and Spanish prices, 110.00 €, are 46 € above the British one

The two closest on price

Same category, nearest budget — what else the same money buys.

Questions asked about this one

What is KM 5356?

A Salomon size code for a junior helmet. This page does not translate it into centimetres, because the listing does not. Take the code to the maker or to a shop, or measure the head and buy a helmet that prints a bracket.

Is a visor better than goggles for a child?

It removes the two things children lose and fight with — the goggle itself and its strap — and the listing leans on exactly that. Against it: a visor cannot be swapped for a different lens tint when the weather changes.

What is an in-mould shell?

The outer shell and the foam are moulded together rather than glued, which saves weight. It is lighter than a hardshell and less tolerant of being dropped on a car park.

Who this one is for

A child who loses goggles, or refuses to wear them
