Pit Stop: Kali Protective

View as: Slideshow | One Page
The helmet closest to us? That's a sneak peek at Kali's newest high-end model, the Shiva. You're listening to Bryan Mason from Kali.
Here's a bit of the work/brainstorming/hangout area.
The high-end helmets come with two sets of cheek pads so you can custom tune the helmet to your face and fit requirements.
This is a crashed helmet that shows how the foam has been compressed.
Here's a rendering of the new Shiva helmet. This one won't be out until later this year.
Here's evolution at work. The cutaway helmet on the far side? That shows how large the shell used to be on one of their earlier helmets. The one on this side? Their most recent model. Yep, they're both the same size, and you can see how the foam molds inside the shell.
A little Kali culture. Out back, they've got a sweet pump/jump track, a the Kali mask burned in on a big wooden wall ride.
We've seem some lightweight helmets that have had chin bars that were equally lightweight. Not so on the Kali helmets. That's good news for neck brace wearers.
Kali has a full lineup of helmets for various sports, and also produces helmets for other companies.
We like the integrated GoPro mount on top of the visor, and the Pop-Out visor system.

It's fascinating to check out the various ways that engineers are trying to make helmets safer. Sometimes it's good to be a conehead. Listen in to what's cooking at Kali...and keep an open mind.
