KEP Italia's mission has always been based on three keywords: safety, innovation, and design. Add to this the determination with which the company has chosen to plan, design, and manufacture its helmets exclusively in Italy, with an international vision that has over time made it the undisputed leader in the sector.
At its headquarters, design, and innovation go hand in hand with safety and comfort, flanked by research and development that has led it to study, experiment, and select new materials capable of achieving an unparalleled final result.
Safety first: this is the mantra that KEP Italia has adopted from the outset and which it shares in such a way that it becomes an essential message both for those who ride horses professionally and for the new generations coming to this noble sport for the first time.
Behind every single component of the helmet is a jigsaw puzzle of elements that have led to groundbreaking results for both riding and multi-sport use of the Cromo 2.0.
In addition to the latest generation of materials - such as laser-perforated steel, ultra-light yet extremely strong honeycomb structures, aluminum, carbon, DDQ stainless steel, Kevlar, polycarbonate, technological, hypoallergenic, anti-static, and eco-friendly fabrics - the fit has been carefully studied, with an extended neck roll that provides better protection for the back of the head, a strap with five anchorage points on the shell and a flexible visor. Not to mention the level of safety testing and the highest standards guaranteed by international certifications and approvals.
But all of this was not enough for KEP Italia! Thus, the integrated microchip, located under the front insert of the Cromo 2.0, onto which all the wearer's health information can be uploaded after downloading the KepApp, helps to make first aid more effective in the event of an accident.
Not forgetting the attention paid to environmental sustainability, which has led to the use of 100% recycled raw materials for the inner pads, thanks to Greensoul technology, which guarantees high-performance materials with total respect for nature.
The helmet bag is made with Newlife technology, which processes high-quality recycled material without the use of chemicals, through a traceable and 100% Made in Italy production process.
The packaging of all KEP Italia products is made exclusively from FSC-certified cardboard made from cellulose sourced from sustainably managed forests.
Safety, innovation, design, sustainability = KEP Italia.
