Composite vs Carbon — Which Should I Choose?

Composite helmets use MSF (Multi Sandwich Fibers) with Kevlar reinforcement — strong, FIA certified, and significantly more affordable than carbon. Carbon helmets (FIA 8860) are ultralight and offer the highest impact protection available, but at a premium price. For most club and semi-professional competitors, a composite helmet is the right choice. See our Stilo Carbon Racing Helmets if you need FIA 8860.

What is the difference between a composite and a carbon Stilo helmet?
