Material texture

choice Helmet After the type, we need to know the materials of the helmet. Common helmet materials in daily life include "ABS plastic", "glass fiber reinforced plastic", "carbon fiber" and "composite material". Different materials have different characteristics. Let's talk briefly about these different materials.

1. Many helmets are made of ABS plastic, which is very common in our daily life. Before manufacturing, it is usually the shape of the particle. The PP shell I played with as a child is actually ABS plastic. The quality of ABS plastics is mixed. Good ABS plastic has high temperature resistance, excellent frost resistance and toughness, but poor ABS plastic is very fragile. However, no matter how good ABS plastic is, its rigidity is relatively ordinary, so ABS plastic materials are more common in entry-level or relatively inexpensive helmets, so it is not recommended to buy them

2. FRP

FRP is also very common in daily life. For example, the chairs in the park look like plastic, but they are actually made of fiberglass. In fact, FRP material is composed of glass fiber and various resins. Its rigidity and impact resistance are far stronger than ABS plastic, and it is not easy to deform, but its weight is relatively heavy. Fiberglass helmets are generally used for the upper part of middle helmets

3. Carbon fiber

Carbon fiber is actually a very fine carbon fiber material, and then woven into different shapes. Carbon fiber is more expensive and has many advantages. One is light weight, but high strength; Second, it has strong impact resistance and is not easy to deform; Basically, all the advantages of helmet carbon fiber are gathered together, so carbon fiber is generally used for high-end helmets

4. Composite materials

Composite materials are fused based on carbon fiber and other materials, similar to glass fiber reinforced plastics, and are improved through the characteristics of different materials Helmet class Applicability and safety of

In line with the attitude of being responsible for your own safety, we recommend that you choose a helmet made of fiberglass and above materials.
