Statistics show that helmets reduce the incidence of fatal head injuries by 50%, so we urge you to wear a correctly fitted helmet. But how do you choose one? Think of your intended riding while considering the materials used to construct the helmet.
Thermoplastic: The construction of these helmets is a simple process, which is why they're less expensive. A thicker impact liner, which requires a larger shell, is used. This makes the helmet slightly larger and heavier.
Fiberglass or Hybrid Ultra Light? Constructing a fiberglass helmet involves a two-step process that layers fiberglass and injected resins to create the shell. This results in a lighter helmet than one made of Thermoplastic, but heavier than a Hybrid Ultra-Light helmet.

The Hybrid Ultra-Light helmet uses a state-of-the-art technology in its construction. This one-step process uses Aramid-reinforced fiberglass with the optimum resign already built into the fibers. The result is a smaller, lighter helmet.
Carbon Kevlar®: The construction involved is the same as fiberglass, except that Kevlar fibers are used instead of fiberglass fibers. Carbon Kevlar's strength means that less material is needed to achieve the desired amount of impact resistance. The result is a lighter, more comfortable helmet. On average, Carbon Kevlar® helmets are 20% lighter than comparable fiberglass helmets. Our FXRG® range includes full face helmets using a Carbon Kevlar® shell. If you prefer a different style, then check out our Carbon Kevlar® 3/4 Helmet.

Sometimes, you want more than style and protection from your helmet. Our Road Tech™ Helmet System with Bluetooth® lets you listen to your MP3 player or talk on your mobile hands-free while wearing your helmet, and works with all helmet styles. This is ideal for staying in touch with other riders.
If your MP3 player or mobile aren't Bluetooth enabled, we also offer an adaptor that can turn your gadgets into Bluetooth compatible devices.
