Headtrip Helmets DOT Certified Carbon Fiber Skull Cap Motorcycle Helmet by Advanced Carbon Composites. Carbon Fiber composites can achieve the strength and stiffness of metals at a significant weight savings, these two factors are key to the manufacture of a helmet. Kevlar is made by dissolving a polymer in a solvent and extruding the fiber and then spinning. While Kevlar has properties similar to Carbon Fiber it lacks compressive strength. The combination of 50% Carbon Fiber and 50% Kevlar results in a laminate with flexural strength about three times that of Kevlar alone. By using Carbon/Kevlar and a high pressure laminating process, Advanced Carbon Composites can produce a helmet shell with far superior strength to weight ratio.
Advanced Carbon Composites uses an energy absorbing foam called Ensolite for our liner, while still being comfortable it offers energy absorbing properties that other headliner material does not. Resulting in a smaller and safer helmet. Advanced Carbon Composites is a Custom Helmet Manufacturer. They build each helmet by hand - one at a time. No compromise is ever made in the quality of the helmet.
Features:
- Manufactured using a proprietary RTM process that results in a helmet that is both light weight and small
- Unique Ensolite Inner Padding is only 5/8 inches thick, resulting in the smallest DOT helmet we carry!
- Equipped with a 4 point 3000 psi nylon harness
- Hand Crafted by American owned, Advanced Carbon Composites.
- DOT Certified.
