Helmet interiors
"Invisible" but essential
Shapes and materials used for helmet interiors are not the first thing people observe, too often in fact they are not even considered. People usually pay a lot of attention, and reasonably so, to external parts, such as the colours and lines on the outer shell.
Nevertheless the inside, although hidden and less visible, is that part of a helmet which is most in contact with the face and head of its user, thus constituting an essential part of this item. Such part should be given the same consideration as its external features.
Therefore, when evaluating a helmet, in addition to its shape and look, it is necessary to consider and evaluate interiors too, which are less visible but not less important.
