Antares Reference Precision Helmet

Shell The thicker outer shell is made from ABS. Its role is to disperse the energy from an impact over the helmet's surface. When your helmet strikes an object, the shell distributes the shock wave by dispersing it. Both light and rigid, ABS is also highly scratch-resistant.  Helmet liner The helmet liner is made from EPS (expanded polystyrene foam) in a new ground-breaking shape to absorb the energy from impacts by dispersing it. As a result, the liner becomes far denser.  Inside, the liner is partly covered in blue waffle-shaped ERT (Energy Reduction Technology) foam pads. This new technical innovation better spreads out the energy from small bumps and big impacts. It also has anti-rotational properties. If you take a hit while riding, the blue waffle-shaped pads move with your head across the helmet shell to limit the risk of head injuries.
