HOW TO MEASURE
Measure circumference of head from center of forehead around head, approximately 1.5 cm above ears. This should be the widest part of your head. Make note of measurement and refer to sizing chart.
The Traffic Basic is your entry point to Kali’s trusted Traffic lineup—stripped down to just what you need. Built with our Composite Fusion™ technology, ERT Low Density Layer and a tough polycarbonate shell, it delivers serious protection in a streamlined, minimalist design. No visor. A single, rear light. Just pure function, clean lines, and everyday reliability. Perfect for riders who want safety they can count on, without the extras.
Looking for reliable protection without the extras? The Traffic Basic has you covered. Built with Kali’s Composite Fusion™ technology and a tough polycarbonate shell, this no-frills urban commuter helmet delivers the same core safety as our higher-end models—without the lights or visor.
Lightweight, durable, and equipped with our Dial Fit System for easy adjustments, the Traffic Basic is perfect for daily riders who want trusted performance at an unbeatable value.
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.
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.
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.
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.
