KIRSH Helmets, a member of the Impact Technologies family of companies, is an American-made Helmet Company. Our unique technology brings together Style, Safety, Comfort, and Improved Performance. Avid motorcyclist, Jason Kirshon knows what he likes in a helmet.
"The style, the performance and the comfort," according to Kirshon.
For Kirshon, the helmets made today just don't cut it. He said they're either too big or don't offer enough protection. So years ago, the Lake George native set off on a mission to create the perfect helmet. "I turned my kitchen into prototype central," he said. After six long years of research and development, Kirshon said he has made a helmet safer than anyone he has ever seen.
The helmet called "Kinetic Impact Reactive Safety Helmet" uses patented silicone technology to reduce impacts during crashes. It's lighter and smaller than most other helmets. Kirshon hopes that it will change the motorcycle industry forever. He says, "we've surpassed all of the industry standards on testing, so we're far and away a safer helmet."
