The Precision Reference Eclipse helmet was designed to better protect you both on foot and in the saddle. Our Research and Development team designed this helmet to meet the new 2023 standard. The all-black Reference Eclipse model offers a sleek and sophisticated style. Our goal: to provide riders with ever-greater safety and comfort.
Inspired by motorcycle helmets, its design incorporates various technical components to optimize its level of protection and ventilation.

ShelL
The thicker outer shell is made from ABS. Its role is to disperse the energy from an impact over the helmet's surface. When your helmet strikes an object, the shell distributes the shock wave by dispersing it. Both light and rigid, ABS is also highly scratch-resistant.

Helmet Interior
The helmet liner is made from EPS (expanded polystyrene foam) in a new ground-breaking shape to absorb the energy from impacts by dispersing it. As a result, the liner becomes far denser. Inside, the liner is partly covered in blue waffle-shaped ERT (Energy Reduction Technology) foam pads. This new technical innovation better spreads out the energy from small bumps and big impacts. It also has anti-rotational properties. If you take a hit while riding, the blue waffle-shaped pads move with your head across the helmet shell to limit the risk of head injuries.

Air vents 
The Reference Precision riding helmet features a new airflow system with 11 apertures inside the helmet and 2 vents front and rear. This new system provides better airflow and keeps your head cool. It also has air ducts under the visor, which improve airflow inside the helmet. 

Fastening system
The helmet fastening has been completely redesigned with an easy-to-use "Fidlock" magnetic fastener. This means you can clip and unclip your helmet using one hand. The helmet fastener comes with a nylon lock ring, providing the rider with added safety.

The nylon and leather harness ensures the helmet fits securely on the rider's head. The Y-shaped fastening system with its widely spaced anchor points, also called a 3-point fastening, ensures the helmet sits firmly on your head. The helmet has nylon straps.  
And for added comfort... Elasticated straps at the rear of the helmet relieve any pressure on the back of the head for added comfort, so you can ride with your hair up.

Eclipse visor
The Eclipse visor draws on women's hat design. The elegant, wide visor has been carefully considered to protect the rider's skin from the sun without obstructing their field of vision.

European standard EN1384-2023 requires all visors or peaks to bend when exposed to a weight. This is intended to stop them from breaking and injuring riders. As a result, Antarès helmet visors are designed to be flexible
