7iDP Mountain Bike Helmets & Protection
Established in 2011, 7iDP had a simple goal of making the most rider-friendly MTB protection on the market. Comfortable to wear on big rides without sacrificing safety, that is iDP (Intelligent Design Protection).
We continue to push manufacturing boundaries and refine our products, travelling the world to test in all conditions. From enduro world cup wins to backcountry grins. Bike park laps or BMX gate snaps. Pump track session or trail riding progression.
Whether you are wearing a full-face helmet for the first time, or Sam Hill pulling on his own signature knee pad. 7iDP has been intelligently designed by us, for every rider.
Project.23
Our design group was unanimous in their opinion that the helmet should have a hard shell construction allied with great ventilation and be as light as possible without compromising its protective characteristics.
These beliefs were backed up when we consulted a range of riders from EWS and downhill World Cup racers to local trail riders.A Hard Shell (think DH/motocross helmet) - has an outer shell made typically of Carbon, Glass Fibre or ABS.
The shell protects the EPS foam core from puncture and absorbs energy on impact. A typical micro shell helmet (think XC/trail/road helmet) does not have a substantial outer shell, as a consequence provides inferior protection.
Ventilation - The ‘23’ In Project.23 refers to the 23 full-bore vents that allow air to flow in at the front, move through the specifically designed channels and exhaust heat at the rear. This enables incredible through-flow for ease of breathing while helping you stay cool.
Weight - There was no compromise in our choice of materials to ensure the correct balance between protection and weight. This resulted in a weight of 945 grams for the Carbon and 1060 grams for the Glass Fibre model in a size large.
ERT "Softer Is Smarter" - ERT (Energy Reduction Technology) is a patented 4mm layer of lightweight soft polymer foam that adds a layer of protection against brain injuries in both linear and rotational impacts. Unlike most impact energy management materials, which do not deform and dissipate energy below a certain impact threshold, ERT responds instantly, even at low-impact levels commonly seen in riding.
7iDP MTB Knee Pads
We believe that well-designed mountain bike knee pads shouldn't interfere with your riding enjoyment, but be there to protect when needed.
Our MTB knee pads are comfortable, unobtrusive and built to CE Level 2 Certification, allowing you to confidently enjoy the ride.
It's the standard you need for racing at a UCI Downhill or riding the Enduro World Series, but where they really prove their worth is at your local trail centre on a Saturday afternoon when you bin it on some sniper roots.
Comfort and Protection. 7iDP.
