In-Mold Helmet Construction |
In-Mold Helmet ConstructionIn-mold construction is a manufacturing technique where the foam interior liner of the helmet is "blown in" while the hard exterior shell is still in the manufacturing mold.In-mold helmets tend to be lighter and have more venting than traditional methods. Originally limited to high-end helmets, in-mold construction now appears in many mid-to-high-end helmet models. Traditional Helmet ConstructionHelmets that are not made with in-mold construction techniques have their foam liners taped or glued onto the exterior shell after the shell and liners are produced.Helmets made with this traditional technique tend to be heavier and typically have fewer vents. |
