Even though our helmet is soft,
it protect you against sharp objects!

We do this by using Kevlar, the same material used in bulletproof vests.

Kevlar helmet

The helmet with Kevlar stops the sharp object.

Non Kevlar helmet

The helmet without Kevlar get punctured all the way through by the sharp object.

We therefore use Kevlar in our helmets

This protects you against sharp rocks, fins, reef, and foils.

Sjø Protection’s story

Thomas, a mechanical engineer, just wanted to have fun in the water. Two long-lasting concussions from surfing and foiling made him seek a helmet, well suited for watersports. When he couldn’t find what he was looking for, he built it instead.
