BC Air Helmet

The Boa Fit System is an innovative adjustment mechanism that allows you to easily customize the fit of your helmet. By simply turning a dial, you can tighten or loosen the helmet to ensure it fits securely and comfortably on your head. This personalized fit not only enhances comfort but also improves safety by keeping the helmet in place during use.

In-Mold Construction is a manufacturing technique that fuses the outer shell of the helmet with the foam liner in one step. This process results in a lightweight and durable helmet, as it reduces the number of separate components and enhances the overall structural integrity. A helmet made with this method is typically more comfortable to wear for extended periods and provides better protection.

The EPS Liner, or Expanded Polystyrene liner, is crucial for impact protection in helmets. It is designed to absorb energy during a collision, which helps to minimize the risk of head injuries. The lightweight nature of EPS makes it an ideal choice for helmet design, ensuring that you get both safety and comfort without added bulk.

Passive Channel Ventilation is a smart design feature that allows air to flow through the helmet naturally, without the need for fans or mechanical systems. This is achieved through strategically placed channels and vents that promote airflow, helping to dissipate heat and moisture. As a result, you can stay cooler and more comfortable, especially during intense activities.

Removable ear pads provide added warmth and protection for your ears, especially in cold weather conditions. The ability to detach them makes the helmet more versatile, allowing you to customize your setup based on the weather. Additionally, removing the ear pads makes the helmet easier to pack and store when not in use, enhancing its portability.

Yes! One of the key advantages of the Boa Fit System is that you can make adjustments on-the-fly. If you feel the helmet is too loose or tight while wearing it, simply turn the dial to achieve your desired fit without having to take the helmet off. This convenience ensures that you can maintain comfort and security throughout your activities.
