HEAD Race Recommendation Notes

The recommendations above are based on the 2025–2026 HEAD Racing Recommendation Chart. Pound values are rounded conversions of HEAD's kilogram weight ranges for easier reference.

Ski selection and length are individual decisions. Racer weight, strength, ability, discipline, coaching recommendations and applicable race rules should all be considered when selecting race equipment.

Always confirm current competition requirements with your coach or governing organization before purchasing race-specific equipment.
