For over 20 years, the iconic Morning Pride Ben 2 helmet with EZ-Flips™ has had a particularly dedicated following. Here’s why…
Features and Benefits
EZ-FLIPS™
The 2013 edition of NFPA 1971 raised the requirements for helmet-mounted faceshields below the brim. Our team worked arduously to develop a new generation of EZ-Flips™ that would meet the rigorous new criteria. The new EZ-Flips™ were born...outperforming those tough requirements, making the Ben 2 the only helmet with flip-down face protection certified to NFPA 1971, current edition.
STRONGEST SHELL
Did you know that the Ben 2 helmet offers the strongest shell on the market? The Ben 2 is made of FYR-Glass - a proprietary custom-blended material found only in Morning Pride helmets. Our testing shows that FYR-Glass helmets are 39% more resistant to impact penetration than conventional fiberglass helmets and offer superior heat performance.
LOW PROFILE
With a low center of gravity, the Ben 2 also rides low, resulting in better balance and significantly reduced neck strain.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
Plus, the Ben 2 provides a 6-position suspension with one-piece headband and ratchet assembly that can be adjusted without disassembly.
