Product Details
Alchemy Trail Helmet by Kali®. Designed with the trail rider in mind, the Alchemy is ready for whatever your trail looks like. From long, knee-busting climbs, to ripping fast descents, the Alchemy will energize you to keep pushing, keep exploring and keep pedaling. Consumer Reports called the Alchemy a "Top Fit for Mountain Bikers" and scored it 84 out of 85 in their independent testing. The Alchemy uses the Composite Fusion technology and LDL to dissipate any impacts as quickly and efficiently as possible. It also comes with a Micro-Fit Closure System and 2-Position Height Adjustment. Kali Protectives came from a breakthrough in safety technology - Composite Fusion, a process that bonds the helmet shell and foam enabling us to use a thinner shell, creating a lighter stronger helmet. Lighter and stronger means a safe helmet with less mass attached to your head.

Low density layer
Simply put, LDL started out with the idea of putting a low density liner inside Kali helmets to suck up the energy from a low-g hit to the head. Your helmet is there to take the beating for you when you hit your head, hard. LDL is there to soften the bumps you get that are not near the forces that compress or damage the foam in your helmet. It turns out that Low-g hits, especially when received repeatedly, turn into serious concussion damage to your brain.
The data shows the majority of impacts from accidents are happening at much lower-g forces than the standards are testing for. And thus Kali are huge advocates for getting softer materials into their helmets and closer to your head. The LDL reduces rotational impact forces up to 25%, and reduces low-g linear forces up to 30%.
Kali continues to test and experiment with materials and the design of LDL materials in the helmets and they won't stop. Afterall, they are an engineering driven company whose focus is developing the next generation of industry leading safety technologies.
Lifetime crash replacement
You crash it. Kali replaces. It's that simple. Kali doesn't do this as a marketing stunt or because they have lost their minds.
Kali does this because what they learn from crashed helmets informs everything they do. Kali has you return your crashed helmets so they can take them back into the lab to cut them open, measure them, and dissect them. Then they use the information they gather from the unlucky few who test these helmets in ways they cannot recreate to build the next generation of Kali helmets.
Of course, Kali prefers you never have to use the Lifetime Crash Replacement policy and suggest you replace your Kali helmets at respectable intervals. Let them reiterate once again, please leave the testing to Kali.
