The Shred Ready Deluxe Half Cut Helmet is a composite version of their popular Standard Helmet Series. The Standard Deluxe is made of the "Black Gold" composite laminate consisting of a one piece outer carbon layer combined with inner layers of Kevlar and fiberglass, combined with the EPP liner, drop liner, cheek pads and facemask pads and the HOT lock retention system it is the ultimate (full face) helmet. Unlike more expensive brands which only put carbon where you can see, the entire shell and facemask are made of a one piece carbon layer, without seams, wrinkles or pleats to make the carbon fit into the mold. This achieves a lighter, stronger laminate that you will be proud to wear.
