NOTICE: We are currently unable to contact Lubin and are therfore unable to accept any order for helmets at this time. We hope this is just a temporary communication problem.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Lubin helmets are the result of many years of development and their quality, safety and manufacturing ranks them among the world's best.
Lubin believe that neither safety nor comfort should be compromised, especially under the sometimes extreme conditions which we occasionally experience in our sport.
All the helmets on these pages demonstrate that safety and comfort can be incorporated into a quality product. They have been advance tested to EN966 standards by the Czech Standards institute and meet the EN requirements. Official EN966 testing is scheduled in April only after which the helmets will be certified to bear the EN certification sticker.

Integra from £185
A luxury integral helmet with an aerodynamic shape.
The main focus is on maximum head protection for the pilot. It is unrivalled as being the lightest helmet in this category.
The well-designed inner construction of the helmet and use of the best quality aramid and carbon fibres is the basis for attaining the lowest weight and torsional consistency.
The lining has two inner shock-absorbing and protection layers. The inner lining provides maximum comfort for the pilot and the outer protection layer made of special foam gives the most effective protection and impact absorption.
There is provision within the helmet to attach a radio head-set.
The inner lining is removable and can be washed.
A protective cover is delivered with helmet.
Available in 3 standard colours: black-chrome, white-carbon, metallic grey-carbon
Also available to order: light metallic blue-carbon, dark metallic blue-carbon

The science:
The base of the helmet is composed of a composite shell, upon which the resistance and durability of the helmet are dependant.
Three types of material can be used for the production of helmets - glass fibres, carbon fibres and aramid fibres.
Glass fibre is the basic material of all layered laminates.
Carbon fibre gives a very high bend resistance and solidity. Carbon is three times stronger in compression and three and half times stronger in traction than glass-fibre. Thanks to this excellent attribute it doesn't require the use of as many layers as the products made using only glass fabric. This makes the product lighter.
For this reason, you will find these materials used in sport at the highest levels (Formula-1; Kayaks, Skiing; Racquet sports; Fishing; Cycling and even Motor manufacture ...) or in health care (prosthesis).
Aramid fibre make the product tough, crash and abrasion resistant. This attribute is the reason the material is used for the manufacture of ballistic vests.
A combination of these materials balances the toughness of aramid and the resistance of carbon. It makes Lubin helmets sufficiently firm so that they are extremely crash resistant and able to withstand large impacts, and provides the resistance which is necessary for the protection of the head against laminate slivers which result from breaking the helmet.
You can identify the materials which were used by looking inside the shell.
Carbon fibre is black and aramid fibre is yellow.
The inside of the shell of most of the helmets found on the market isn't painted, because there is no reason to hide the quality, and besides that, another layer of colour would make the product heavier.
This makes it easy to examine the quality of the helmet.
If you find the helmet is manufactured using only glass fibres without carbon-aramid support, then it is obvious that priority has been given to producing a helmet with the lowest production cost. This can prejudice the strength and weight of the helmet.
The inner lining is made of high quality materials. The liner is removable, making maintenance easier. The lining is designed to offer pilots the highest comfort.
The sizes of the liner are carefully chosen to fit securely, not to be loose and not to pinch.
Secure double-coloured buckles are used on the helmets.
