All KEP helmets are carefully crafted using only the highest quality materials. These include: laser-perforated steel with light and sturdy honeycomb structures, aluminum, carbon, DDQ stainless steel, and Kevlar. Flexible visors are used to avoid common facial and neck injuries associated with restricted head movement when making contact with the ground. The extended nape provides a greater surface area of protection for the back of the head. Even the helmet strap, a crucial safety piece, has been thoughtfully designed with five secured points and checked for tensile stretch to ensure the helmet remains on the rider's head during a fall.
All KEP Italia designs undergo considerable testing before they hit the market, including but not limited to: shock absorption, penetration, strap resistance, shift, and crush tests. This testing allows them to meet the following certifications:
- CE certification to VG1 01.040 2014-12
- SEI certification to ASTM F1163:2015
- Kite Mark certification to VG1 01.040 2014-12
- IC Mark certification to EN 1384
- Kite Mark certification to PAS05:2011
