The Madera

Note: Use scroll down box in upper right corner for the Holz in various wood types and prices. Read below for direction on how to order Custom Wood options. We will contact you about sizing once your order is placed.

The Madera is based on a contemporary, popular helmet design that has become ubiquitous in the bike commuting and skateboarding world. The Madera profile provides a great balance of coverage and visibility. We offer the Madera with an EPS foam core or with Cork as the primary impact protection lining.

Each model is offered "Standard" built with 3 types of wood and a Custom option.

Douglas Fir A high quality, kiln dried, dense grain native softwood harvested and milled sustainably by a small operation in Western Oregon.

Big Leaf Maple salvaged from Oregon forests.

Black Walnut salvaged from Oregon Farms and Urban forests.

Custom - Myrtlewood, Madrone, Oak, Ash, Sycamore, Redwood etc. We can find other woods to use in making your helmet. Generally they add $75-$125 to the $425 deposit price. For exotic grain woods like Burls the price is typically an additional $125-$250. Laminated wood helmets typically add $75-$125. When you order Custom we will correspond with you directly to determine the wood you want/have chosen and let you know the extra fee. Contact us if you have questions!

All of our products feature our patented technology using wood as a "First Line of Defense" taking advantage of its inherent structural properties that allow it to absorb energy in the event of a significant impact, adding protective redundancy to the EPS foam or Low Density Cork system that lies beneath. Additionally, in models with wood and cork together, there is a wholly organic helmet shell and liner that naturally resists the effects of UV degradation that synthetic helmet materials are more vulnerable to. This means you won't need to toss a weather worn and sunburnt helmet in the trash every few years only to buy another.

Each shell is reinforced with HMVK Polyurea impact shielding. Low Density Agglomerated Cork is a durable, resilient material that has more than proven itself in high abuse applications such as flooring and shoe beds and soles.
