How Helmets Protect You

Every IRH helmet is built with advanced materials that absorb and diffuse impact energy:

🛡️

EPS Liner

Absorbs shock and reduces impact force.

💨

Ventilation Channels

Promote airflow and temperature regulation during rides.

Comfort Liners

Removable and hand washable for a secure fit.

Reinforced Shell

Lightweight yet durable protection.

 

Helmet Fit = Helmet Safety

Fit for Protection: A helmet can only protect you if it fits properly. Here's how to ensure a correct fit:

Level Position

The helmet should sit level on your head, covering the forehead and resting approximately one finger width above the eyebrows.

✅

Snug Fit

Your helmet should feel comfortably snug—secure enough to stay in place without wobbling or shifting when you move.

Chin Strap & Buckle:

The chin strap should form a “V” under each ear and fasten securely under the chin, allowing only one finger’s width of space. The buckle must click firmly into place—listen for an audible click to ensure its properly secured before riding.

Hair Management

Hair position can influence helmet fit. Each premium IRH helmet includes two interchangeable liners—one thinner—allowing you to adjust for comfort and security, whether your hair is up or down.
