Kali Protectives Prana Fiberglass Full Face Helmet
The Kali Protective Prana Fiberglass helmet is full-face helmet that is exceptionally strong and exceptionally lightweight (1150 grams/2.5 lbs.). The Kali Prana full-face helmet is durable enough for use in motocross and lightweight enough for use in downhill mountain biing. For a downhill mountain biker, the vastly more protective Prana Fiberglass far exceeds the tradeoff of wearing a motocross helmet, since it weighs hardly more than some of the best full-face mountain bike helmets on the market.

Kali Prana Full-Face Helmet: How Can It Protect So Well When It's So Light?
The reason why the Kali Prana is so protective yet so lightweight is due to Kali Protectives’ patented Composite Fusion Plus helmet technology. Instead of making a hard shell in one mold, an EPS foam liner in another, and then gluing them together, Kali Protectives constructs its Prana helmet in a single mold, hard shell and EPS liner together. In the high-temperature steaming process, the hard shell and EPS liner fuse together, eliminating the need for glue. A helmet that is fused together will maintain its protective integrity over the long term better than one that is glued.
Furthermore, in the Prana, the EPS foam liner is made from pyramidal shapes of Contego EPS foam beads. These EPS foam beads are of two different densities, which Kali uses to create a pyramid/counter-pyramid interweave of EPS foam molded and fused simultaneously with the exterior hard shell. Upon impact, as energy is transferred from the hard shell to the EPS liner, these pyramid-shaped EPS foam structures collapse at different rates, so as to spread the energy from impact diagonally– from the peak of these less dense EPS foam pyramids at the hard shell’s interior surface down to the many pyramids’ four corners closer to your head.
In practical terms, if the impact from a crash on the Kali Prana helmet happens over, say, a two-inch diameter area, Kali’s Composite Fusion Plus technology will dissipate this shock over a much larger diameter by the time the energy from impact reaches your head. It is exactly what you want to have happen in response to a serious impact to your helmet.
