Getting to know Kali Protectives

Kali Protectives - science, innovation, safety, quality and great looks!

Not too many other things to talk about this mountain-bike oriented helmet company that made its debut in road helmets a few years ago. Some months back, I got to know the company through Jason Aven, the territory manager of the East Coast, and fell in love with it.

Kali Phenom comes with a rain shell!

The people behind Kali are very knowledgeable, super friendly, extremely helpful, passionate and eager to help Kali Protectives expand and grow! You can find this culture in a lot of companies. However, what sets Kali apart from other companies, is the science behind the product design and production, the additional time spent to produce each individual helmet, and the effort put to listen to the athletes and customers feedback to make a better helmet!

Supervents and room for a ponytail!

On the science part, Kali's foundation is the Composite Fusion. This helmet-making process, involves bonding low-density EPS foam directly to the outer shell and removing all gaps between the shell and the foam. This way, both the shell and the foam work together rather than at separate times. What that means is that there is a reduction in impact energy to someone's head!

Kali started making full-face helmets in 2007 and the road line appeared in 2012 with the Maraka model. The Phenom and the Loka showed up in in 2014 and the revolutionary aero road helmet Tava made its introduction in the fall of 2015.

What is really impressive about the technology of all Kali helmets is that they do not need to compress the foam around the openings in order to maintain a low-weight and high-ventilated lid - found in most high-end, high-expensive helmets in the market. By doing so, Kali's foam density at no more than 80 grams per cubic liter within their Composite Fusion technology and their Supervents, allows the crash impact energy to de-centralize and spread over a large area. So that the helmet absorbs most of the impact and not your brain!

Kali's Composite Fusion Plus, found in Maraka, Phenom and Loka, extended the Supervent, low-density de-centralization ability of Composite Fusion not just in the external but also in the internal part of the lid. And they call this technology, Conehead (love these names!)

The novelty of these technologies has made Kali Protectives surpass all of the safety helmet protocols out there!

Kali Maraka has it all: safety, ventilation, fit and looks! It also comes in XS for smaller noggins!

Kali engineers have managed to create a crash-energy mouse-trap in their helmets, make a super-ventilated lid that fits well without giving a headache or hotspots, without increasing the helmet volume and without making a bucket-like, ugly-looking helmet.

I can't wait to see what's coming next. New features that are coming include additional reduction of rotational forces (Tava helmet) and new BOA-based retention systems. Kali is constantly improving every month and every year!

I can't wait to see this company grow. They deserve it in any sense.

Safety first. Fit, ventilation, and looks are just extra bonuses that make the cherry of the pie!

Get out! Be safe!
