The IsoFit® System
Before we introduce the IsoFit® System, let’s be honest about the 360° fit system that’s become standard in helmets across industries.
Uneven Fit & Hot Spots
- There are 8 to10 documented head shapes, so while the headband of the 360° system may adjust to head circumference, it is not designed to address varied head shapes to evenly fit and secure the helmet properly.
- Most people experience pressure points or hot spots because their specific head shape doesn’t match the curvature of the helmet’s comfort liner design.
Unstable Helmet & Air Gaps
- An unevenly fitted helmet creates air gaps, which makes the helmet unstable.
- An unstable, off-centered, helmet significantly reduces safety upon impact, despite helmet design. This is because the helmet can shift due to the air gaps. If the helmet is lopsided, the safety registered in the lab (with perfect helmet position) is not the same in reality.
- Often the wearer will further tighten the 360° fit system to offset movement but in fact this is more likely to cause compression headaches.
Compression Headaches
- 360° fit systems only tighten around the lower head and apply pressure points to the trigeminal scalp nerve, which can cause compression headaches.
Neck Pain
- 360° fit systems also apply pressure points to the occipital scalp nerve, which can cause neck pain and discomfort.

Here’s why every helmet needs the IsoFit® System:
Two-layer comfort liner fit system contours evenly around the wearer’s head for a personalized fit.
Helmet stays secure and stable because it is equally balanced and centered on the head.
No hot spots or air gaps between head and comfort liner.
Significantly relieves pressure points to the trigeminal and occipital scalp nerves.
How the IsoFit® System works:
Loosened
The design of the IsoFit® System enables the patented two-layer comfort liner to float up and down within the helmet, to minimize any gaps between the comfort liner and the wearer’s head.
When the helmet is first placed on the head, the IsoFit® System should be loose so that it can self-adjust to each wearer’s head shape and size.
Snug Fit
When the wearer tightens the dial to the desired fit and comfort level, it maintains the lace position for a snug, stable fit.
This innovative two-layer design enhances helmet stability by minimizing air gaps between the head, liner, and helmet. It also eliminates pressure points, providing a safer and more comfortable fit for any head shape or size.
