Safety

Enjoy off-roading to the fullest.

Things happen fast, and they happen before you know it! When we go wheeling we seek the challenge, pick a new line, choose the harder trail, try to go faster and often expose ourselves to new terrain where we don't really know what's coming at us around the next corner. But do you want to wear a helmet for all the unforeseeable? Or do you simply have to..?

ATV, UTV, Buggy, Jeep, Rock Crawler or any Off-Roader.
This is where an AXEL Off Road Helmet comes into play... ATV helmet or UTV helmet, buggy, Jeep or whatever rig you beat down the trails – we think it is important to offer the most comfortable and best performing helmet for our sport or hobby.

What to expect from an AXEL Helmet.
First off, it has to be solid! AXEL Off Road helmets are certified with the highest standards in recreational sports, prepared to free fall on a big rock with a Kayak, smash your skull under speed onto your roll-cage or flip over and hit boulders or trees reaching through the window while rolling down the hill... 

We know how it feels. We know what matters.
Coming home safe and sound is what you want. AXEL Off Road Helmets lead the way. Because not only is the strength of our helmet crucial. You also want full sight to see where you're going and the comfortable fit and feel so that you don't feel the urge to take it off. Air vents, soft neoprene-like material and the size adjusting system are the key factors to comfort at any time.

Here some safety tips:

  • Keep helmet in the vehicle like an extinguisher, gas can or a towing rope 
  • UTV drivers go faster than Crawlers so keep the helmet on at any time
  • Jeeps with tech modifications should keep the helmet handy on the trails
  • Put helmet on before approaching the obstacle(s), make sure it sits snug
  • Moderate trails can turn into real tough ones, so better be safe than sorry
  • Usually when throttle is required so is a helmet - so think and act ahead
  • Steep uphill/downhill rides are better approached with peace of mind
  • Cage, trees, rocks, debris, passengers cause the most common impacts
  • Crawl Buggies on difficult trails should always keep their helmet on
  • Bouncy roads can be demanding too, so avoid rattle-hits from your cage
  • Often a bandana or a cap can fit under your helmet if you want to
  • Yes - keeping your helmet on at all times is the best way to protect yourself and come home healthy. You'll be surprised how comfortable our helmets are. They won't limit your sight, you won't break a sweat or itch, they're super light and won't limit your joy of the open outdoors.
