The Galaxy range of riding helmets have a distinctive mat black shell as well as silver chromed accessories. The thicker outer shell is made from ABS. Its role is to disperse the energy from an impact over the helmet's surface. When your helmet strikes an object, the shell distributes the shock wave by dispersing it. Both light and rigid, ABS is also highly scratch-resistant. The Galaxy Precision Eclipse riding helmet features a new airflow system with 11 apertures inside the helmet and 2 vents front and rear. This new system provides better airflow and keeps your head cool. It also has also air ducts under the visor to improve airflow inside the helmet.
