As a kind of skiing tool, the use of skis is becoming more and more popular, and the load-bearing parts of the skis are facing problems and challenges during use. Glass fiber-reinforced nylon is an important material for load-bearing parts. What are the new applications of glass fiber-reinforced nylon in skiing?
Let us learn about this knowledge with you.
Glass fiber reinforced nylon replaces metal in the ski car, which can not only reduce the bumping vibration, constant collision friction, noise, and fatigue caused by long-term use of the ski car but also achieve weight reduction.
The LGF long glass fiber reinforced PA6 material with different long glass fiber content series is a modified reinforced composite material obtained by adding different content long glass fibers into the nylon PA6 matrix material and modifying and strengthening through certain production technical means.
LGF long glass fiber reinforced PA6 material is comprehensively improved in tensile strength, modulus, mechanical properties, impact properties, aging resistance, dimensional stability, and heat resistance. Compared with short glass fiber reinforced nylon, long glass fiber reinforced nylon The strength modulus and other properties of PA6 have been improved.
As the length of the glass fiber increases, the performance levels of stiffness, toughness, and strength continue to increase, which shows that the performance of long glass fibers is much higher than that of short glass fibers. Therefore, under the same conditions of use, the PA6 material added with long glass fibers can greatly improve the bearing capacity, impact resistance, and strength of the structural components of the ski, and meet the design and use requirements.
Because glass fiber reinforced nylon, with the increase of glass fiber content, the tensile strength, bending strength, and temperature resistance of the material are greatly improved; at the same time, creep resistance and fatigue resistance are greatly improved; elongation, modulus Plastic shrinkage, hygroscopicity, and wear resistance are reduced, making reinforced nylon an engineering plastic with excellent performance.
Glass fiber reinforced nylon particles have the advantages of high strength, high toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and are mainly used in automobile radiator grilles, engine parts, automobile mirror frames, automobile mirror shells, transformer coil frames, and electric tool shells, sports equipment, mechanical parts, elevator parts, etc.

If your child is new to skiing, it is recommended to wear warm and comfortable clothes!
Ski clothing can be divided into three layers. The first layer is the shirt, which is generally warm and quick-drying.
Young babies still mainly keep warm. Older children tend to sweat more. If it is made of pure cotton, it will not dry out after sweating, and it is easier to catch a cold when the cold wind blows.
Therefore, it is recommended to use quick-drying or breathable materials. The second layer is a warm middle layer, such as a fleece jacket or a professional ski middle layer. The third layer is the outer jacket, which is the ski suit.
If the snowsuit is relatively thick, the underwear is warm and close-fitting, or when the temperature is high, you can wear these two layers.
The North Face Baby Ski Jumpsuit
ski suit
Professional ski clothing is definitely the best because it is made of high-tech materials, so it is very light and not heavy, but at the same time, it is very warm, windproof, waterproof, and very breathable. It is the best choice for skiing.
In addition to professional ski suits, some snow suits are relatively heavy, and the windproof and air permeability are not particularly good. Such snowsuits can be overdone, and it is not recommended to wear them for a long time.
There are also friends who wear down jackets for skiing. Although down jackets keep warm, they are easy to sweat and the heat is not easy to escape, so it is easier to catch a cold when the wind blows.
Waterproofing is one of the important considerations when buying outdoor snowsuits for children, because children love to play by nature, and it is normal for children to run, jump, climb, and roll on the snow.
Coats made of non-waterproof fabrics can get wet easily, which can be uncomfortable for the child. Most down jackets are light and not waterproof, so they are not used for children to wear while skiing.
Children grow up relatively quickly, so before we buy equipment, we can first consider whether the child can persist for a long time, or have this plan, and then consider which one to buy is a more economical choice.
It is recommended to choose bright and eye-catching colors for children’s snowsuits so that they are easier to find.
In terms of purchasing channels, it is recommended to visit Decathlon at the beginning. Although the items there are not the most professional, they have a relatively complete category, such as underwear, middle layers, and outerwear. You can have a good entry experience, and it is enough for the first snow.
In addition, some ski suits are very user-friendly, with drawstrings specially designed for children and teenagers. The length of the sleeves and trouser legs can be pulled separately. In this case, it doesn’t matter if we buy a bigger size for our children. It’s very convenient to tighten the rope this year and release it when the size is right next year.
Generally, it can be adjusted by about 20 cm. It is no problem to wear a piece of clothing for two years, and the child will not procrastinate in wearing it. I believe many mothers will like it.
Part 2
How to wear equipment
In addition to the clothing you wear, helmets, face shields, gloves, and snow goggles are also essential equipment for skiing.
Helmet
It goes without saying that everyone knows the importance of helmets, especially children. Some people may say that their children don’t wrestle very much, but once they are hit by others, the consequences are unpredictable.
Therefore, the helmet must be worn well by the child, and the habit of safe exercise should also be developed for the child. Whether it is skiing, cycling or other sports, safety comes first.
Comfort is also a prerequisite for choosing a helmet, and size and model are particularly important.
It is best to buy it in a physical store and let the child try it on himself. The size is not too big or small, and it does not get stuck, does not chuck, does not shake loosely, and it fits just right.
If you can’t go to a physical store and buy online, you must measure your head circumference and determine the size before buying. Because many brands of helmets distinguish between Asian and European versions, the European version of the helmet is slender and not suitable for Asian heads.
Therefore, it is best to choose a helmet model that is suitable for Asians. If you are in the store, see if you can change the size, etc., so as not to buy one that is not suitable.
General helmets have ventilation holes, which can help us release the heat from the head even in high-temperature weather.
It is recommended to buy a half helmet for the child’s helmet. Although a full helmet is safer, if you do not participate in competitive competitions, the speed is not so fast, and the protection of the half helmet is enough.
A half helmet is more comfortable than a full helmet.
A professional helmet brand will guarantee the quality and safety of the helmet, and it is recommended to choose such a brand for children.
Common brands are SMITH, POC, GIRO, SALOMON, ANON, UVEX, OAKLEY, and so on.
Look, Decathlon is also on the list~
Snow goggles Ski goggles are goggles, and ski goggles, and main function is to protect our eyes.
Because most of the skiing is on snow-capped mountains, and when sliding, there is a certain speed, so the ski goggles can not only protect against ultraviolet rays, but also protect against wind.
The selection of snow goggles also has a choice of specific models. If comfort is the first priority, it is still recommended to take the child to try them on in person to see whether the frame of the glasses fits the face and whether the size of the glasses strap is appropriate.
In addition to the style, it also depends on the field of view of the snow goggles. If the field of view is too narrow, the child cannot observe the surrounding situation in time. The wider the field of view, the better.
In addition, we must pay attention to the clarity of the lens and the anti-fog function. It is very uncomfortable to see clearly when wearing it.
There are also many brands of snow goggles that can be recommended, such as OAKLEY, SMITH, POC, UVEX, etc., and of course Decathlon.
Children’s skiing in the early stage is basically a beginner’s course, the climate changes little, and the snow goggles for beginners are enough.
If you have been skating for a long time in the future, the level has increased, or you often go skiing resorts with changing snow conditions and climates, you can change to more professional equipment.
If you want to experience professional equipment at a low cost, buying second-hand products is a good choice, such as salted fish. Second-hand products are cheap, and it is very suitable if you can find something in good condition.
Face protection, snow socks, and gloves When entering the ski resort, the temperature drops rapidly, and the windy weather makes it easy for children to suffer from frostbite or blow injuries on their faces.
Faceguards can help us solve this problem. If you have worn a neck collar as a child, the shape of the face guard is similar to it.
The upper part can block the face and nose, and the lower part is connected to the neck so that the neck will not enter the wind.
There are thin and thick face protectors. When the temperature is high at the beginning and end of the snow season, it is recommended to wear thin ones to facilitate children’s breathing.
In the cold snow season, you can wear thicker ones, mainly to keep warm.
Ski socks are different from the socks we usually wear, they are longer and warmer. The length of the sock barrel is generally higher than the boot barrel of the snowshoe, which can protect the calf.
The special material of the ski socks will also keep the socks warm without being so thick and bloated. When the snowshoes are fastened, the socks that are too thick will make the child very uncomfortable.
If it is a young baby, the main thing is to keep warm and comfortable, and their snowshoes will not be designed very tight.
If face protection and ski socks are optional, gloves are a must. Whether it’s grasping or playing, gloves are important.
Children’s gloves must be waterproof, followed by comfort and warmth.
Young babies are not recommended to wear gloves with five fingers separated because of their small hands.
Older children can wear gloves with five fingers. The size should be suitable. If the size is too large, the place for the fingers will be empty, and the child will feel that the fingers are very cold.
Descente children’s gloves
To sum up, children’s things are still based on comfort and warmth, followed by functionality, and other factors will be considered later.
With the above preparations, children can basically have a pleasant skiing experience.
Another top priority is to prepare food, drink, and play for the baby.
It takes about 10 minutes to half an hour for a baby of two or three years old to go to the snow for the first time.
Don’t expect them to be addicted to skating and keep skating. But don’t be discouraged, eat and have fun, and you will have more time to skate next time.
Skiing is also fun, don’t think it’s a waste because of the ticket price, long distance, and a lot of equipment.
Give your children time to adapt, and slowly they will like skiing!
As for snowboards, snowshoes, and skis, most ski resorts can rent them, and we will talk about them later! Welcome to pay attention~
Table of contents Is skiing on a children’s balance bike dangerous? What are the children’s ski equipment?
Everyone has always thought that skiing is for adults. In fact, children can also ski. As long as the preparations are done well, you can take your children to go skiing together. Let me introduce the equipment and recommended places for children to ski.
Is skiing on a children’s balance bike dangerous?
If you are afraid of children falling down, you can try balance bike skiing. The rise of balance bikes in China is not very long, but the momentum is strong. After the balance car is installed with snowboards, you can ski. In Beijing, some self-balancing car clubs have launched some skiing activities and learning ground races. It is very interesting for children to run downhill together. Children who are very young can participate in this activity, as long as they can ride a balance bike. Sprinting on snow is less difficult than riding, because there is no need to turn.
This is very important, don’t buy bigger ones just because your head will grow, the helmet needs to be worn without a chuck but it cannot be shaken. There are generally two types of helmet materials, namely ABS and PC. It is recommended that you buy a helmet made of ABS material. This kind of helmet will immediately crack when encountering an impact to reduce the force of the impact on the head. If it is a child who starts to learn skiing, he must pay attention to the quality of the helmet. This is absolutely not to save money. Even if you don’t fall yourself, you may encounter someone else.
2. Snow goggles
This is also very important. In the snow, you need to protect your eyes. Children’s eyes are still developing, so pay more attention. The material of the snow goggles is generally TPU+resin. Polarized light-reducing lenses are more commonly used. This is to prevent snow blindness from ultraviolet rays, etc., in dark weather. Or you need to use a light-enhancing lens when skiing at night. Now there is a kind of light-changing lens that can neutralize the functions of the two lenses, eliminating the need to change the lens. The upper edge of the snow goggles should fit the lower edge of the helmet better, so as to avoid air leakage to the forehead. This item is also recommended not to save money.
3. Snow suit
There are one-piece and two-piece snow suits. Children over the age of 4 are recommended to wear separates, which will be more flexible. The surface of the snow suit is coated, which can be better windproof, waterproof and breathable. DrymaxX and GORE-TEX are recommended, and the waterproof and breathable index is often 10,000. The filling of the snow suit has two functions of keeping warm and breathable. The new DuPont material is the best, and there are also 3M cotton and down (good for keeping warm but less breathable).
4. Wearing inside the snow suit
Quick-drying clothes + fleece, it is best not to use long johns instead of quick-drying clothes. When exercising, the skin-friendly layer is breathable and sweat-wicking is the most important thing, and sweating clothes are always wet and easy to catch a cold.
5. Face protection
Choose the appropriate face protection thickness according to different temperatures. Children’s faces are relatively fragile, and they are prone to redness and frostbite, so if the temperature of the ski resort is low, you should pay attention. The snow goggles are pressed against the face to prevent drafts, and windproof stickers can also be used when the wind is strong. Children grow up very quickly. Save some money if you don’t ski a lot. Decathlon has it. If you want a concave shape, you can look at other ones.
6. Snowshoes
Double-board snowshoes are relatively hard and heavy, and they are not as comfortable as single-board snowshoes, but this design can better protect the ankles. The size of children is always changing. Now there are stretchable snow, common Atomic, Head, Fischer There are no retractable snowshoes.
7. Snowboard + binding
This is also very important. Poor quality snow plates have poor stability, and some are even easy to break. And a good snowboard should rebound after bending hard, showing a straight line instead of bending marks. The length of the snowboard, the longer the snowboard is faster, the stability is high, and the flexibility is poor, and the shorter the snowboard is, the opposite is true. Generally, the height is minus 10-15cm. The height of children around 3 years old is generally 90-100cm. You can use the snowboard with the height minus 20cm. Primary school students over 7 years old can choose the snowboard that is close to the height. If the child is thin, choose the snowboard Shorter snowboards, fatter ones can use slightly longer snowboards.

What to pay attention to when taking children to participate in ice and snow sports?
Is your child suitable for ice and snow sports?
Many parents came to ask: “Whether my child is suitable for ice and snow sports, what should I think? How to judge?”
3-6 years old is a very important time period to cultivate children’s sports. Generally speaking, as long as the child can maintain a good balance after putting on the equipment, he can learn on the ice.
There are also experts and coaches who agree that the earlier you learn this kind of sport, the better. Some active players start to learn skating around the age of 4 to primary school, and 4-6 years old is the right age for skating. Start learning earlier, just like speaking your mother tongue, you can master the tricks of ice sports freely and unconsciously.
And at this age, logical thinking and learning ability are developed. The coach teaches the movements and essentials, and the children can understand them. When children of the same age are together, it is like playing together, and they will be interested.
How to cultivate?
As for whether a child is a talented “seedling” in everyone’s mouth, at least three years of continuous training can be used to see if the child is suitable to continue on this road.
Some children did get many opportunities and even went abroad for further study by virtue of their performance on the ice. But now is the era of big data. When considering a child, no coach will only look at whether he has talent or not. They will also refer to various data and use data to speak. Generally speaking, children with good balance, strong control, good strength, and good physical fitness will be more suitable for participating in winter sports. ”
Interestingly, when you watch the Winter Olympics, you will find that many athletes are from the north. The feeling and balance of children in the north are generally stronger than those in the south.
For example, every winter, children in the north have a natural advantage in ice sports, even on icy roads, they can play with flowers. However, children in the south generally do not have such living conditions, and it may be difficult to stand firm on slippery icy roads. This is the same reason that southern children are generally slightly better than northern children in water sports.
As for the learning cost of the ice and snow project, it is also a topic of concern to many parents. In the past, the learning cost of ice and snow sports was not low compared to general sports, but in the past few years, with the popularity of ice and snow sports, the cost is not too high. The training costs of many summer sports are as low as higher than this.
In addition to having a certain financial foundation, in addition, it is necessary to give children enough time to accompany them, as well as to provide children with such an atmosphere, space and training and learning environment. If this cannot be done, at least one of the parents must give up their normal life to accompany them Children are trained, and now it is not like the coaching model of the past. Cultural courses are very important, and it is not just for children to practice sports.
What to pay attention to when taking children to participate in ice and snow sports?
Ice and snow sports have set off a climax all over the country and have become a new way of fitness for people. What are the benefits of ice and snow sports for children? What should we pay attention to during exercise?
Appropriate ice and snow sports have many benefits for children, such as enhancing cold resistance, exercising cardiopulmonary function, improving physical coordination, and promoting growth and development. It is worth noting that in a cold environment, the body will be in a contraction protection state, the flexibility will be reduced, and the subsequent risks of muscle strain, ligament joint injury, and other sports will also increase.
For children to engage in ice and snow sports, parents must first choose a regular venue and not take their children to skate on wild ice. Secondly, it is necessary to choose suitable and formal ice and snow sports clothing and equipment for children, and wear protective gear as required. Parents should objectively evaluate their children’s sports ability and level, choose suitable ice and snow sports for their children, and practice under the guidance of professional coaches.
Before outdoor ice and snow sports, you should pay attention to the weather conditions. Weather such as heavy snow, strong wind, low temperature, and haze is not suitable for outdoor ice and snow sports. Before exercising, let children fully warm up, pay attention to replenishing water during exercise, and prevent frostbite. Once the child feels local numbness, he should go back indoors and massage gently to relieve it. When resting during exercise or after exercise, it is necessary to add clothes to children in time to avoid hypothermia.
Do not force children to play sports if they are unwell. If you are injured while exercising, you should call for help in time, you can simply save yourself, and then seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
If a child has local bleeding, press to stop the bleeding; if a sprain occurs, elevate the affected limb, immobilize it, and apply local ice compresses, be careful not to knead, so as not to aggravate the swelling; if a joint dislocation occurs, the injured joint should be removed before transport Fix it well; if there is a fracture, do not move the child at will, but fix it before moving it.
At the same time, pay attention to epidemic prevention when exercising, and avoid gathering and getting together.

Kids skiing is an exciting and fun sport that has gained popularity in recent years. There are many people who want to take their children to ski but are worried that the children are too young. After reading this article, it may be helpful to you
“Can children go skiing when they are still in preschool?”
“What should I pay attention to when taking children to ski?”
For the questions about children skiing precautions, we will answer them one by one for everyone below!
How old can a child be to go skiing?
Kids Skiing requires a lot of body balance. The smaller the child, the lower the center of gravity and the easier it is to learn, so this sport is very suitable for children. In foreign countries, many children are brought to ski by their parents when they are two or three years old, and it is also common for young children in ski resorts.
Of course, age is only a reference, and there is no conclusion that a child must be a certain age to ski. The specific basis for judgment depends on the specific situation of the child. The opinion of most ski instructors is that children can run quickly and make emergency stops, and it is not easy to fall when walking. If they have a certain jumping ability, they can ski. From this comprehensive point of view, the safe age for children’s skiing recommended by professional coaches is preferably after the age of five.
Skiing is an aerobic exercise. Taking children to ski in winter can not only promote the growth and development of children’s bones but also help to enhance cardiopulmonary function and greatly reduce the incidence of colds in children.
02 Promote brain development
Promote children’s brain development
Skiing can promote children’s brain development, increase the number of brain capillaries, promote the establishment of permanent links between brain neurons, and improve children’s body adjustment, balance, response, sensitivity, motor skills, and the development of large and small muscles. Really promotes children to “more developed limbs and smarter minds”.
03 Improve flexibility and exercise children’s balance ability
The essence of skiing is to master the balance, to find the balance point in the constant change of the center of gravity, and in the process of mastering the balance, skiing can exercise a good effect on most of the joints of the body, and the flexibility of the body is also exercised to the greatest extent. It helps to enhance the child’s ability to adapt to the external environment.
04 Hone your will and improve your child’s mental health
Skiing can help children improve their mental health, making them more confident, independent in action, and more efficient in doing things.
Children’s exposure to various sports activities is very beneficial to their physical and mental development. They become stronger and more resilient during sports, and they can also meet many new friends.
How to prevent kids from getting hurt while skiing
When skiing with a doll, safety must be the most concerning issue for all parents. In order to ensure the safety of children, parents must explain the safety matters of skiing to their children in advance, establish skiing rules, and take preventive measures.
If parents don’t know how to ski, then you might as well ask a professional ski instructor to take your child skiing for the first time, and start learning from warm-up and basic movements. If you are a parent who can ski, try to choose a place that is smooth and free of obstacles when taking your child skiing, and do not choose a site with many trees and slopes.
02 Equipment protection
Choose the right equipment for your child, choose the right size and good quality. Put on ski gear for your child. Protect children’s eyes, trunk, and reduce exercise risks.
03 Step by step, moderate exercise
You can let the children do some warm-up exercises first. There are some other playgrounds for children in the snow field. You can also let the children try other simple snow equipment first, feel the speed, and play a transitional role.
At the same time, you should pay attention to what you can do during exercise, because children will be very excited about the snow, so be careful not to ski for too long.
