A holistic approach to head protection focused on safety first. All shell and liner compositions are integrated by design. Focused impact zones on the frontal lobe, temples and occipital are reinforced with IMPAX absorb pods that diffuse energy. Impax pods absorb both linear and twisting impacts. The diffusion of force through the helmet is not one materials full responsibility. The Burn X shell and EPP are the core of safety forming a lightweight barrier that provides protection against catastrophic injury. The IMPAX soft touch foam shield and the ABSORB pods are special elements designed for specific small and large impacts.
