Yes absolutely ! They meet the requirements of the CE standard EN1078, on personal protective equipment for cyclists. The series of crash tests (sidewalk anvil, flat anvil, tearing) are carried out by an independent French laboratory specializing in the safety checks of consumer products intended for the general public.

Its depends on various factors responsible for deterioration, including sudden changes in temperature, its degree of exposure to the sun and the intensity of its use. The inflation and deflation frequency of the helmet also influences the lifespan of the product. We recommend changing your helmet every 5 years if all the lights are green until then. Like all helmet for that matter.

Before each ride, you should always check with the built-in pressure indicator on the back of the helmet that the helmet is inflated to the correct optimum protective pressure of 2 Bars or 29psi. Indicator lights allow you to translate this pressure:
- Flashing red = lower than 29 PSI = DANGER pressure too low
- Steady green = 29 PSI = SAFE pressure ok
- Fixed red = greater than 29 PSI = DANGER pressure too high, risk of damage to the helmet and bursting

Unlike a rigid helmet which must be changed after the slightest impact, a helmet equipped with Infl8 technology is made up of a volume of pressurized air which absorbs the impact without altering its protective capacity. As long as the pressure gauge tells you the correct operating pressure and you don't see any damage to the overall shell of the helmet, then it's compliant and protecting you.

Infl8 technology allows helmets to stay inflated to the same pressure without air loss. However, we recommend that you check the pressure using the pressure indicator before each use.

It all depends on your needs. You can choose to leave it fully inflated at home or at work, to partially deflate it to store it in your bag or to deflate it completely during your outings, it's all the flexibility we offer you!
