All headset manufacturers offer a wide range of graphics options. However, if you want a specific design, whether it's a replica or a custom paint job, and you feel good in a helm that doesn't offer that design, Helmade makes this dream much easier to achieve thanks to its functionality. “Design and buy” which is now available on its website.
Helmade is not in its infancy when it comes to creating beautiful custom helmets. Founded in 2015, this German company is dedicated to customizing the best and most premium helmets in the world. Indeed, Helmade has worked closely with Bell since opening its doors in 2015, and has since partnered with Arai, Airoh, X-Lite, Premier, Bandit and many others.
The company seeks to revolutionize the way headphones are purchased by moving from an in-store, off-the-shelf experience to a highly personalized process focused on artistry and individuality. On their official website, Helmade says that every helmet one buys from them is a “unique, personalized, handcrafted product, designed by you”.
The design process is extremely simple and completely digital. Helmade has developed the world's first online helmet configurator, a design tool that allows you to design your own helmet in 3D. Once you are satisfied with the personalized design, it is possible to place an order online, and Helmade takes care of the rest.
Helmade's head office is located in Frankfurt, Germany. The company is equipped with a comprehensive design studio and state-of-the-art painting facilities. Each of Helmade's creations is completely handcrafted, to produce exactly what the customer designed. In addition to creating custom helmets, Helmade's goal is also to reimagine the future of helmet design. The company has partnered with a selection of international helmet designers from around the world to collaborate on new designs and innovations for motorsport, racing and motorcycle helmets.
However, there is a huge pitfall to this: cost. Depending on how you want to customize your helmet, the price Helmade charges for paint alone can match – or sometimes exceed – the price of the base helmet itself.
