Motorcycle helmets belong to the most important protective equipment of a motorcyclist. In Germany, helmets have been compulsory for motorcyclists since 1976, for moped riders since 1978. And not without reason. Motorcycle helmets protect the head from injury and can save lives in the event of an accident. But they are not only for safety, they also provide a better riding experience. They keep your head warm and protect your face from rain, hail, wind, dirt and insects. Additionally, with an unique design, you can make sure that all eyes are on you.
We are very proud to announce that helmade has secured a long-term partnership with the Formula 2, Formula 3 and Formula 4 team PHM Racing. Out of the discussions with PHM founder Paul H.
