Customize your Antares helmet
If you wish, you can change the colors of the bar, headband and triangle on this model to create a unique helmet. In its classic version, these elements are chrome-plated. It's up to you to choose your own helmet customization colors! We've written a blog post on helmet customization (link) to make it easy for you.
Composition of your Shagreen Premium riding helmet
The outer shell
The outer shell of your Antarès riding helmet is made of ABS. Its purpose 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 spreading it out.
The helmet liner
The liner is made from EPS (expanded polystyrene). It absorbs the energy by compressing on impact. As a result, the liner becomes far denser and cannot absorb the force a second time as it is ‘single-impact‘. To observe the consequences of a shock on the helmet liner, consult our blog article.
Vents
Its 4 front vents and 2 rear extractors provide good air circulation. Thermal regulation is therefore improved.
The retention system
This ensures your helmet fits securely on your head and stops any rotation. The harness has 3 or 4 points. These points correspond to the number of fastenings on your helmet. Accordingly, all Antarès riding helmets have 3-point harnesses. The Y-shaped fastening system has more widely spaced points to reduce any helmet rotation. What’s more, our helmets have nylon straps and POM buckles (a plastic compound).
Helmet pads
In contact with the rider's head, the high quality foams allow a perfect fit of your riding helmet and an optimal comfort. Whether your head shape is round or oval, they will complement your body shape. Removable, these internal pads can be regularly removed and cleaned to maintain cleanliness. Made in Italy, they are breathable, OEKO-TEX® certified and hand washable in warm water.
Foams are sold with the helmet.
Our riding helmets are handmade in our workshop in Saintes. Find out more about the creation process in our blog post.
The visor
The European standard EN1384-2023 requires the visor to bend when a load is applied to it. This is to prevent it from breaking and injuring the rider. The visor of Antares helmets is therefore deliberately flexible. In case of deformation, it can be manipulated manually to restore its original shape.
