LS2 Youth Gate II Wash Helmet

The LS2 Youth Gate II Helmet offers technology and features rivaling helmets that sell for twice the price. The Gate shell is constructed from LS2's Kinetic Polymer Alloy (KPA), a lightweight strong composite material, and is paired with a multi-density EPS liner Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid, energy absorbing foam. In the helmet industry, EPS is the most common means of energy management to protect the brain. Generic EPS is often referred to as “Styrofoam” (a trademarked name owned by the Dow Chemical Company). Premium helmet producers utilize multi-density EPS liners to balance comfort, safety and performance. . The interior comfort liner uses a high-tech fabric that wicks moisture, dries quickly and is fully removable and washable. Liner and cheek pads are pre-curved using LS2’s 3D laser technology for all-day comfort and no hot spots. The helmet features multiple intake and exhaust ports routed through the EPS liner for flow-through ventilation. The helmet meets DOT and ECE 22.06 ECE 22.06 is a helmet safety rating that extends and increases the testing requirements of ECE 22.05 (with 22.05 being a more modern, more comprehensive European alternative to DOT).

Unlike DOT, every ECE helmet model must actually be tested by an independent lab before it receives 22.06 certification. certifications.
