But now let’s look at …

 

How do I know if my helmet is made from 

composite materials?

 

Not all helmets are made from composite materials, but most will be using Fiberglass, Kevlar, Carbon fiber, or a combination of these blends. They are widely used because of their superior weight-to-strength ratio with the ability to dissipate the impact energy away & evenly around the outer shell of the helmet.

 

Most budget helmets are more commonly associated with thermoplastics, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), Poly-carbonates & or a compound that is a blend of both.

 

The easiest way to identify the materials used in your helmets is to refer to your helmets manufacturing guide upon purchasing the helmet or you will generally find these details listed inside the helmet tagged to the comfort padding of your washable liners. However, if like most people these details have been worn away, due to normal usage and washing your helmet please Google search your helmet’s make & model for more details.
