WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

Kali Protectives came from a breakthrough in safety technology - Composite Fusion, a process that bonds the helmet shell and foam enabling us to use a thinner shell, creating a lighter stronger helmet. Lighter and stronger means a safe helmet with less mass attached to your head.

KALI KREW

BECOME PART OF THE FAMILY

We work with some of the best riders in the world. If you ride for Kali, you're family. That means you care more about the post-ride stories than podium spots. You believe in making a positive impact, keeping riders safe for tomorrow, and preserving the ride for future generations. We’re honored every time someone says #kaliforlife. Sure, it's about our technology—but it's also because we care. We love our Kali Krew. Come ride with us.

LDL

ERT LOW DENSITY LAYER

Simply put, our Low Density Layer (LDL) was developed to absorb low-g impacts—the kind that don’t crush helmet foam but can still rattle your brain. These smaller hits, especially when repeated, can lead to serious concussions over time. Most real-world impacts happen at forces far below current testing standards, which is why we believe in placing softer, smarter materials closer to your head. Our LDL tech reduces rotational forces by up to 25% and low-g linear forces by up to 30%. We’re constantly testing and evolving our designs—because at Kali, engineering better protection is what drives us.

LCR

LIFETIME CRASH REPLACEMENT


You crash it, we replace it. No gimmicks. No fine print.
Our Lifetime Crash Replacement isn’t just about standing behind our gear—it’s about learning from it. When a Kali helmet takes a hit, we ask for it back so our engineers can analyze it in the lab. Every cracked shell and dented liner helps us build the next generation of safer helmets—real-world data we could never replicate in testing alone. Of course, we hope you never need to use this policy. But if you do, we’re here. And in the meantime, please—leave the crash testing to us.
