Helmet liners are evolving after decades of stagnation
October 4, 2022
Our
review of helmets for the current season shows that manufacturers are bringing to market
new helmet liners that show promise of improving protection over the traditional EPS foam liners. Interesting
developments include:
- HEXR's 3d printed liners using castor oil ingredients
- Smith's models with collapsible plastic modules looking like hollow straws
- POC's honeycomb material
- Kali's carbon nanotube material and Conehead designs with dual density impact
foam in helmet liners.
- Trek/Bontrager's WaveCel interior layer
- Leatt and Kali's hourglass disks from Armourgel in their liners.
