Sports Equipment Rental: Ski Hire, Boots and Helmets

The Rent category at Šport 11 brings together our sports equipment rental service, where you can hire gear – above all ski equipment – instead of buying it outright. It is made for holiday skiers who get on snow a few days a year, families with fast-growing children, travellers arriving without their own kit, and anyone who wants to test a setup in real conditions before investing in one.

What you can rent

Renting is the simplest way to get on the slope with equipment matched to your height, weight and ability, without worrying about servicing or off-season storage.

• SKI Rent – ski rental for the winter season, with skis, boots, poles and helmets chosen to suit piste skiing, all-mountain riding or ski touring.

A standard ski rental set is built around three parts: the skis, selected by length, waist width and intended use; the boots, which decide comfort and how directly your input reaches the ski; and the poles and helmet that complete the package. The equipment currently offered for hire is listed in this category.

How to choose your rental gear

• Size and fit – ski length depends on height, weight and riding style: shorter skis turn more easily and forgive mistakes, longer skis stay steadier at speed.
• Ability level – your level determines the binding release setting (DIN), so have your height, weight, shoe size and skiing experience ready when you collect the gear.
• Discipline and terrain – piste, all-mountain and touring equipment differ in weight, width and binding type; choose according to where you plan to ski.
• Boot fit and flex – boots are sized in Mondopoint; a softer flex suits recreational skiers and children, a stiffer flex gives advanced skiers more precise control.
• Children – rental makes the most sense for growing kids, who often need a different ski and boot size every season.
• Accessories – think about a helmet, goggles and how you will transport the equipment to the resort.

Brands

The brands represented in this category at Šport 11 include Atomic, Elan, Tecnica and Dynafit for snow, Focus, Orbea, Santa Cruz and Cervélo for cycling, plus Fox for protection, Thule for equipment transport and Wahoo for training and data.

Frequently asked questions

What information do I need to rent skis?

Bring your height, weight, shoe size and an honest assessment of your skiing level. These details determine the ski length and the binding setting.

Is it better to rent or buy ski equipment?

If you ski a few days a year or are kitting out a growing child, renting is usually the more practical choice. Regular skiers who know exactly what they want generally get more value from owning their own set.

Can I rent skis without boots?

Yes. Many skiers prefer their own broken-in boots and hire only the skis, in which case the bindings are adjusted to fit your boot.

When should I book rental equipment?

Book as early as you can, especially for school holidays and peak-season weekends, when demand for the most popular sizes is highest.

Can renting help me choose which skis to buy?

Yes, hiring is a common way to test a particular ski or boot type on real snow before committing to a purchase.
