When two premium brands that are fully dedicated to performance, quality and speed develop something new together, the result is something extraordinary: the PORSCHE | HEAD collection. A collection of adrenalin-fuelled skis, apparel and accessories featuring Porsche racing design and characterised by high-quality materials and the latest technology.
Collaborate to accelerate – together we are even faster. This tagline is the basis for the new ski collection from Porsche and HEAD. The result is a range of unique premium products. Ski racing icon Aksel Lund Svindal is the ambassador. The former World Cup ski racing athlete represents both brands.
The two ski models, PORSCHE 7 series and PORSCHE 8 series, have been engineered with a completely new construction. The design of the skis empowers movement and speed. The PORSCHE | HEAD collection consists of unique products with a high quality finish.
Race-inspired construction
Thanks to their race-inspired construction featuring a full wood core and carbon and Titanal layers, PORSCHE | HEAD skis deliver a harmonious ride. The innovative Energy Management Circuit (EMC) from HEAD is installed in the PORSCHE Series. Ceramic piezo elements are incorporated at the front and rear of the ski to convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy is used to absorb negative vibrations. This makes the ski smoother and more stable. The ski also adapts better and faster to the terrain. This opens up the highest level of skiing, even after a long day on the slopes.
Additional safety thanks to the Protector binding
PORSCHE | HEAD Edition skis guarantee additional safety thanks to HEAD’s Protector binding. The strain on the cruciate ligament is reduced by more than 50 percent as a result and the risk of knee injuries is significantly reduced. This is made possible by Full Heel Release technology, which ensures lower release forces in forward turning falls and especially in backward turning falls.

PORSCHE 7 series
The PORSCHE 7 series is stable, fast and dynamic. It is a high- performance ski inspired by Giant Slalom racing that carves corners like a Porsche and builds up speed in the twinkling of an eye. With its centre width of 70 mm, the ski conveys a highly athletic and exclusive race feeling. The PORSCHE 7 series is geared towards groomed slopes. That’s where it feels most at home – like a Porsche on the race track.
PORSCHE 8 series
Athletic skiers can accelerate on the slopes as well as cruise comfortably off-piste with this high-performance 88 mm centre width ski. The PORSCHE 8 series is a highly athletic all-mountain ski that handles all snow conditions with ease.
PORSCHE accessories
Ski poles, visor helmet and ski bag join the PORSCHE | HEAD collection as everyday companions. The PORSCHE carbon ski pole has a light swing weight and race rubber grips. The PORSCHE Radar 5K Photo Mips is a modern visor helmet featuring HEAD 5K Lens technology. The new, photochromic lens gives skiers crystal clear vision. 5K improves contrast and colour tone to enhance awareness. This technology is based on the principle of filtering the incident visible light and optimising the perception of colour and contrast. This new lens technology has been co-developed and extensively tested by the HEAD World Cup and Freeski teams. It is designed to improve safety and performance both on and off the piste. The PORSCHE ski bag is made of highly durable premium material and provides space for one pair of skis and ski poles. The bag is included with PORSCHE Series skis.
PORSCHE apparel
Technically sophisticated apparel in a timeless design has been created for the PORSCHE | HEAD collection. The ski jacket and pants keep you warm in any weather conditions thanks to sustainably produced down and PrimaLoft Black Eco insulation. Especially developed by HEAD Sportswear, the IAM membrane protects against wind and moisture. MXM technology provides intelligent climate management, transporting perspiration to the surface of the fabric where it can evaporate. This creates a cooling effect. The outfit is rounded off by a lightly padded midlayer jacket in casual biker style as an additional layer of warmth retention. Its PrimaLoft ThermoPlume insulation is feather-light, quick-drying and has the same heat retention properties and bulk as real down. The design of the collection reflects the colours of the skis in red, white and black to create a distinctive head-to-toe look. The new PORSCHE | HEAD collection apparel is made in Europe.
