The Vertex Helmet is not only exceptionally light, but also incredibly innovative. It is constructed out of a carbon fiber alloy, and is designed to have a responsive, energy-absorbing shell. Similar to modern automotive frames distributing energy in a crash, the Vertex Helmet has a slight flex in key areas to release and distribute the energy of an impact through the shell rather than your head. Helmets are tasked with protecting the most important part of the body, and we do not take this lightly. After much research and testing, we chose the responsive shell design because it proved to be the safest for the wearer.
