Oolsen® helmets introduces “the composite helmetlighter than carbon” - Hall 5 booth 630

What makes the Oolsen® bullit helmet so unique is the first world wide use of self-reinforced polypropylene composite material technology for the outer shell. This material is so light weight, ductile and impact resistant that is excels the performance of carbon fibre for helmets. The shell material iscombined with ductile and robust

EPP foam liner. The combination of these two high performance materials sets a new standard for best choice of construction materials for a protective helmet. It allows the helmet to be compact, lightweight and therefore offers the comfort that a helmet should offer: Protection and comfort but no weight.

In addition the helmet has a modular construction with dismountable neck protector and ear pads allowing the helmet to be made perfectly fit for use as a ski, skate or bike helmet. The helmet holds the full certification for these fields (EN 1077, class B – ski & snowboard EN 1078, bike & skate). Is available in three colours and two size M & L.

This product has been co-developed by Cato Composite Innovations (Cato) and Smartcap and is manufactured, sold and delivered by Cato Composite Innovations B.V. (Rheden), Netherlands.
