Portola: Kaze

$320.00
Best Fit Guarantee

At KAV we fit different. Our custom fit bike helmets are made-to-order for you. 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.

HEX HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE™

Unmatched Impact Resistance:

3D printing enables us to create a crumple zone that can compress almost 3x more than traditional helmets.

This structure allows the helmet to shear when needed or compress when needed based on the impact eliminating the need for both MIPS or an extra layer.

Custom Fit & MADE for you

Every KAV helmet is made to order and begins with your seven unique measurements. Each helmet begins with a one-on-one fit session to take your exact measurements, and is 3D printed to order in Redwood City, California.

The whole process from order to delivery of your custom helmet takes as little as two weeks + shipping.

SAFETY: 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 PolyCarbon 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.

"The way it fit was so amazing and how it performed was so amazing."

Tyler "The Vegan Cyclist" Pearce

First Ride / First Crash: Helmet Impressions
Tyler pushed the Kaze to it's limits at the Rock Cobbler Gravel Race resulting in his "Hardest Crash Ever" and a top 25 finish out of 1000!
KAV PolyCarbon Composite™ : Engineered for protection
Constructed from polycarbonate with 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. The hexes are optimized to sheer during oblique impacts.
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 that’s won us three awards. Safety is important, but looks matter.
Open Cell Ventilation : Cooling Channel System
The KAV PolyCarbon CompositeTM material naturally wicks heat 8x better than EPS foam and our Hex Honeycomb StructureTM provides an open cell interior facilitating passive ventilation and temperature regulation.
CF Pad / Tri-Band 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.
Premium Straps and ITW Buckles : Custom Fit Straps
The familiar made better. Our straps ship out of the box to your dimensions but allow additional tuning with 3D printed yoke clips and an elegant clasp.
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 PolyCarbon 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.
