This all-black Reference helmet looks stylishly sleek and sophisticated. Shell The thicker outer shell is made from ABS. Its role is to disperse the energy from an impact over the helmet's surface. When your helmet strikes an object, the shell distributes the shock wave by dispersing it. Both light and rigid, ABS is also highly scratch-resistant. Air vents The Reference Precision riding helmet features a new airflow system with 11 apertures inside the helmet and 2 vents front and rear. This new system provides better airflow and keeps your head cool. It also has also air ducts under the visor which improve airflow inside the helmet. Fastening system The helmet fastening has been completely redesigned with a easy-to-use "Fidlock" magnetic fastener. This means you can clip and unclip your helmet using one hand. The helmet fastener comes with a nylon lock ring providing the rider with added safety. The nylon and leather harness ensures the helmet fits securely on the rider's head. The Y-shaped fastening system with its widely spaced anchor points, also called a 3-point fastening, ensures the helmet sits firm on your head. The helmet has nylon straps. And for added comfort... Elasticated straps at the rear of the helmet relieve any pressure on the back of the head for added comfort so you can ride with your hair up. Standard visor European standard EN1384-2023 requires all visors or peaks to bend when exposed to a weight. This is intended to stop them breaking and injuring riders. As a result, Antarès helmet visors are designed to be flexible. If they become deformed, they can be reshaped by hand to return to their original shape. The riding helmet comes with its Antarès protective drawstring bag.
