Unparalleled Protection

Continued from above: “While your helmet is unique to you, it benefits from a universal set of technologies to reduce linear and rotational impact forces. We started with the science of head trauma and built impact rigs before a pencil began even sketching our first helmet.”

    I have a UK made Hexr helmet, which was the only custom helmet available at the time. Was like $400 vs $250 for a good off the shelf helmet, but is way more comfortable and doesn’t hurt my head like every other helmet I’ve tried. Bonus is it’s way smaller since it’s designed to fit MY head, rather than me sizing up because nothing is oval enough.

    These ones look like they have better ventilation, which is my only complaint about the Hexr.
