At KAV we fit different. This is not a keep it in the box / as new return policy. Our custom fit bike helmets are made-to-order for you. We want you to go out and ride hard in your helmet. If after 30 days of receiving your 3D printed bike helmet it’s not the best fitting helmet you’ve ever experienced we will give a full refund.

100% Crash Replacement Program

Our crash replacement program has you covered. You receive a one-time 100% replacement of the same model during your entire five year warranty. Just send your helmet back to us so we can analyze it and make improvements if needed.

5 Year Warranty

We have the best warranty in the industry. Other brands offer one year limited coverage and say you need to replace a helmet every three years, not us! Every 3D printed bike helmet is covered by a five-year warranty from the date of purchase.

A CUSTOMER'S POV:

Here’s a closer look at the KAV Portola Helmet 👀

Amazing Helmet, Easy Process
I just received my KAV helmet a few days ago and have been on a couple of rides with it. It's completely different than any other bike helmet I've had.

Adjustability

While all KAV helmets are customized to your exact measurements, your preferred size may change over time. From haircuts, to skullcaps, to a simple adjustment of fit preference, we designed the KAV Portola Helmet to change and grow with you. Our custom pads allow for 4-6 mm of adjustment from your original fit - no dials, no straps, no headaches. 

SAFETY:

Certified & 3RD PARTY VERIFIED

Intertek Laboratories confirms the KAV Portola Helmet to be at least 25% more impact resistant than the national CPSC safety standard. Our proprietary carbon fiber-reinforced copolymers are optimized for both rotational and linear forces.

KAV Carbon Composite™ : Engineered for protection
Constructed from carbon fiber and a proprietary polymer blend which provides strength and superior energy absorption, even in the most extreme conditions.
Hex Honeycomb Structure™ : Unmatched Impact Resistance
3D printing enables us to create a crumple zone that can compress almost 3x more than traditional helmets.
Low Profile “anti mushroom” Silhouette : Sized and Created Specifically For You
Our helmet is customized to your exact fit resulting in a sleek, low profile, aerodynamic silhouette. Safety is important, but looks matter.
Open Cell Ventilation : Cooling Channel System
The KAV Carbon Composite™ material naturally wicks heat 8x better than EPS foam and our Hex Honeycomb Structure™  provides an open cell interior facilitating passive ventilation and temperature regulation.
CF Spring / Pad System™  : The Best Possible Fit
Our made to measure helmet provides the best possible fit; the constant force springs ensure this comfortable fit regardless of whether you wear a cycling cap. The minimal pads limit pressure points and irritation, giving a snug but airy fit. Better yet, no retention devices to weigh you down and get in the way of your ride.
Eyewear Storage : Seamless Integration
Portola’s front outer vents provide storage for your eyewear when not in use.
Magnetic Closure System “Fid-lock” : Straightforward & Smart
Consistent with our philosophy of keeping it simple, the magnetic clasp locks itself into place. No pinched skin and it’s easy to get on/off use, even with full finger gloves.
Safety Testing : This Is Our Mission
Whereas most companies outsource all their testing, we have our own test lab and utilize a network of 3rd party test labs to verify the results. Without the constraints of styrofoam, we use our KAV Carbon Composite, Hex Honeycomb Structure, and fit pad system to holistically reduce linear and rotational impacts by 25% more than the U.S. CPSC safety standards.
