Helmet Hair Don't Care

We believe you should let the outside challenge what's inside you. To find possibilities and adventure on all types of terrain and make memories that last a lifetime. We also believe the best way to do this is with a focus on safety. Safe riding involves training, planning and gear. When it comes to gear there is a lot to learn, but here's a place to start:

Protect your head

Not your hair

Live by this mantra
