|---|---|---|
| 51 | 51 cm | 20.1" |
| 52 | 52 cm | 20.5" |
| 53 | 53 cm | 20.9" |
| 54 | 54 cm | 21.3" |
| 55 | 55 cm | 21.7" |
| 56 | 56 cm | 22.0" |
| 57 | 57 cm | 22.4" |
| 58 | 58 cm | 22.8" |
| 59 | 59 cm | 23.2" |

Fit Tips: The helmet should fit snugly without pressure points. It should not move when you shake your head side to side or up and down. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a more secure racing fit. Contact us for personalized fitting assistance.
🎓 Understanding Polycarbonate Helmet Technology
Why Polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer that offers exceptional impact resistance while maintaining a lightweight profile. Unlike traditional helmet materials, polycarbonate can flex slightly upon impact, absorbing and dispersing energy more effectively. This material is used in aerospace applications, bulletproof glass, and high-performance safety equipment—making it ideal for jockey helmets where weight reduction and maximum protection are both critical.
The Microchip Advantage
KEP's integrated microchip technology represents a breakthrough in helmet safety management. The chip records every significant impact, creating a permanent safety record for your helmet. This is crucial because helmets can sustain internal damage that's not visible to the naked eye. After a fall or impact, the microchip data can be read to determine whether the helmet's protective capabilities have been compromised, helping you make informed decisions about replacement timing.
When to Replace Your Helmet
Replace your KEP Cromo 2.0 immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent. The microchip will help identify impacts that may have compromised the helmet's structure. Additionally, replace your helmet every 3-5 years under normal use, as materials degrade over time due to UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and general wear. Always have your helmet inspected by an authorized KEP service center after any fall.
Racing Regulations
The KEP Cromo 2.0 meets international safety standards for jockey helmets and is approved for use in most major racing jurisdictions. However, specific track regulations may vary—always verify with your racing authority that your helmet meets their current requirements. Some jurisdictions require specific certifications or regular re-certification, so maintain your helmet's documentation and microchip records.
