Taking inspiration from both our ski and cycling heritage to create a truly multi-functional helmet, the new Calyx keeps you protected whether skiing, mountaineering or cycling.
It is possible to do it all with one helmet: whether skiing, cycling or mountaineering, the new Calyx keeps you protected. Meeting strict safety standards across three different categories of tests, the helmet is ventilated, lightweight and highly durable, wherever you choose to use it.
With deep ventilation channels for optimal airflow and adjustable vent openings on the top of the helmet, it's easy to control airflow for optimum comfort in a wide range of weather conditions. Fabric coverings over the front and rear channels allow air to enter the helmet without giving windchill.
The low-profile helmet takes inspiration from both our ski and cycling heritage to create a truly multi-discipline helmet. Highly packable, it features soft earpads that can either be folded into the helmet or easily removed: ideal on hotter days or if cycling or mountaineering.
Features include a dual-density EPS liner to give extra protection in the zones it is needed most and an ABS outer shell for extra durability. The 360° fit system can also be tucked fully inside the helmet to reduce the space the helmet takes when being stored, making it fully packable.
Removable ear pads, a removable goggle clip and a neck warmer are included with purchase, giving you flexibility and freedom in how you wear your protection.
Features:
- Mips Evolve: Rotational impact protection is enhanced through the inclusion of the trusted Mips Evolve system.
- Adjustable Fit System: The adjustable fit system makes finding a comfortable and secure fit easy, and makes changing padding unnecessary.
