KASK – Italian Innovation in Equestrian Helmets
KASK is a premium Italian brand that has been revolutionizing the world of safety helmets since 2004, combining the highest safety standards with Italian design and innovative technologies. Founded in Italy by a group of engineers and extreme sports enthusiasts, KASK quickly became synonymous with excellence in head protection—from skiing and cycling to climbing and horse riding. Every KASK helmet is the result of advanced research, testing, and a relentless pursuit of perfection in safety, comfort, and style.
Brand History – From Passion to Global Leader
The KASK story began in 2004 in the heart of the Italian Alps, where a group of mechanical engineers and designers set out to create helmets that would revolutionize safety standards in extreme sports. The brand's founders noticed that traditional safety helmets, while meeting basic safety standards, still had fundamental flaws – they were heavy, uncomfortable, poorly ventilated, and often did not provide optimal protection from falls at various angles.
The KASK team has devoted years to researching the biomechanics of head injuries, analyzing injury mechanisms, impact force distribution, and the impact of helmet design on protective effectiveness. Working with professional athletes, sports physicians, neurologists, and safety experts, they have developed a revolutionary approach to protective helmet design.
The introduction of helmets with advanced impact absorption systems, innovative composite materials, and ergonomic ventilation solutions was a breakthrough. KASK was one of the first manufacturers to introduce research-based technologies that significantly increased protection while maintaining lightweight comfort.
In 2007, KASK entered the equestrian market, introducing helmets that combined experience from other extreme sports with the specific demands of equestrianism. KASK equestrian helmets quickly gained recognition among professionals worldwide thanks to their unrivaled combination of safety, comfort, and Italian design.
Today, over 20 years later, KASK is a global leader in protective helmets, recognized in the world's most important sporting arenas—from the Olympic Games to the Tour de France to prestigious FEI equestrian events. KASK helmets are worn by top athletes across a variety of disciplines, appreciating their unparalleled protection, comfort, and style.
Italian Innovation – Technology Meets Design
Every KASK helmet is a masterpiece of engineering and design. Manufactured in Italy, where advanced manufacturing technologies are combined with an Italian passion for excellence. The process of creating a single KASK helmet involves hundreds of precision operations and multi-stage safety testing.
Key elements of the KASK production process:
- 3D Design – Advanced Computer Modeling for Optimal Aerodynamics and Protection
- Material selection – use of state-of-the-art composite materials and impact-absorbing foams
- Shell Forming – Precision forming of the outer shell from composite materials
- Installation of the absorption system – multi-layer foam systems with different densities for optimal protection
- Ventilation System – Strategically placed ventilation channels for maximum airflow
- Finishing – high-quality finishing materials, adjusters, fasteners
- Safety Testing – Each model undergoes rigorous testing that exceeds international standards
KASK Technologies – Next Generation Safety
KASK invests in research and development to offer the safest helmets on the market. The brand has developed a number of patented technologies that set new standards in the industry:
In-Moulding Technology
Innovative technology combines the outer shell with the inner absorbent foam in a single production process. The result: a lighter helmet with increased durability and better impact absorption.
Multi-Layer Protection System
A multi-layer protection system consisting of foams of varying densities that absorb impacts of varying severity. The outer layers absorb light impacts, while the inner layers protect against severe shocks.
Rotational Impact Protection Technology
An advanced protection system against rotational injuries, one of the most dangerous during falls. Its special design allows for controlled shifting of the helmet layers, reducing rotational forces acting on the brain.
3D Ventilation System
Strategically placed ventilation channels ensure optimal airflow, eliminating head overheating during intense workouts. The system acts like air conditioning, maintaining a comfortable temperature.
Fit System Technology
An advanced fit adjustment system allows for precise adjustment of the helmet to the shape of the head. Micrometric circumference and height adjustments ensure a perfect fit for every rider.
Eco-Leather materials
High-quality finishing materials, soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic. Easy to clean and maintain, they maintain a fresh appearance for years of use.
Safety Standards – Above Standards
All KASK equestrian helmets meet or exceed the highest international safety standards:
- VG1 01.040 2014-12 – European standard for equestrian helmets
- PAS 015:2011 – British Safety Standard
- ASTM F1163-15 – American Standard for Equestrian Helmets
- AS/NZS 3838:2006 – Australian/New Zealand Standard
KASK goes beyond meeting standards – each model undergoes additional internal testing that exceeds international requirements. Helmets are tested in extreme conditions, simulating the worst-case fall scenarios.
