NACA helmets
"HELMET FROM ANOTHER PLANET"
NACA ("naka") is the brand-new premium name on the equestrian helmet market by UFO Groupe, a French company based at Signes, near the famous Castellet racetrack, in South of France.
UFO is recongnized and well known for its expertise in design, conception and manufacturing of high value products made in carbone, kevlar, epoxy and so on, since 1987.
The company manufactures composite products for nautical, aeronautic, petrol, high-level sports industries which gives a complete assurance on quality and traceability.
The Equestrian “GRAVITY” range comes with a simple and efficient model available in a multitude of versions.
The design is sleek, function-driven, and the aesthetic detail makes the difference. A unique innovation is the XP carbonic chin strap!
The Technology:
Each NACA helmet provides a set of innovations, an original range of colors, and a featherweight (470 - 540 grams, depending on the size and model) make it a very high-end helmet, so perfect to wear.
The helmets are made in France, so any customization is possible. From an idea to the actual manufacturing, through mould creation and testing, everything is done on their premises, allowing them to be super responsive and, along with you, project their creations into the future.
Gravity models are available in two versions: a DURGITEN© shell version (ABS & Policarbonate Thermoplastic Composite) and a version with a shell made entirely of carbon. You are going to love this helmet’s lightness, making if very comfortable.
Two kinds of chinstraps are available. One chinstrap features a nice elaborate and refined design made of PU "Gravity S", and the other (called XP) is made of carbon.
This XP carbon chinstrap features a totally innovative design: made entirely of carbon, it brings extra protection, gives the helmet a better hold and widens the rider’s field of view.
Both versions feature a magnetic Fidlock® buckle, very easy to clip and unclip. More information on Fidlock buckles HERE.
The magnetic peak is easy to remove and interchangeable. Two available sizes.
You can change the helmet’s peak according to your mood or activities (e.g., remove it for cross-country trials).
Not just a nice innovation, but a true safety feature: in case of a fall, the peak is ejected, and the helmet fully performs its shock absorbing role.
100% French brand.
