In an effort to
make one of the most comfortable motorsport helmets on the market even
better, we’ve been collecting racer, customer and dealer feedback for
improvements on the F4 helmet since it’s introduction. This newest
version has implemented these improvements and the result is a helmet
that is even more comfortable and better-fitting than the original F4.
Intake and exhaust ports have been significantly enlarged allowing more air to enter and exit the helmet.
The
EPS liner shape has been modified in three ways. The cranial shape at
the top of the helmet has been altered to allow a better fit on a wider
variety of head shapes and also helps keep the helmet positioned
correctly. The three large air channels that run laterally through the
helmet were already some of the deepest offered in any helmet, but we
have made them deeper in this version, allowing even more air to pass
over the head and out of the helmet.
The plenum chamber (inside
the EPS) has also had its channels deepened, allowing an overall
greater bandwidth of air to pass through the EPS to the rider’s head.
The
comfort liner has been completely redesigned to implement the latest
technologies in moisture-wicking fabrics. Moisture-wicking foam has
strategically-placed perforations allowing a much greater amount of air
to pass through the liner while enhancing comfort.
With an
unprecedented 41 air-craving intakes, the F4 again establishes the
newest standard in helmet ventilation technology. The helmet design is
optimized to effectively channel air into the helmet where it is
assisted by a network of air-channels in the the EPS liner to maximize
airflow over the entire head. The result is a dramatically cooler and
drier riding experience. The pocketable WINDSTOPPER® liner can be
snapped onto the comfort liner in colder weather, which will still
allow moisture to be moved away from the head while preventing air from
directly contacting the head. Safety standards have been exceeded not
only through the use of aerospace materials, but also in the design.
The F4 exceeds Snell M2010 and U.S. DOT standards.
