Making innovations
in protective gear available for turban-wearing riders.
At Pfaff Harley-Davidson, diversity and inclusion is at the heart of what we stand for. Inspired by the recent helmet law exemption for Sikh motorcyclists, we introduced this alternate option – a turban layered with impact resistant materials.
Three layers of protection
Non-Newtonian Foam
Non-Newtonian foam is used in a variety of applications such as military armour and helmets. It starts out soft and flexible but stiffens when force is applied, dispersing impact to protect the rider.
DYNEEMA® Composite Fabric
With a strength-to-weight ratio 10 times stronger than steel, DYNEEMA® increases tear resistance and is used in bulletproof vests and clothing.
3D Printed Armour
Inspired by historical Sikh warriors who wore chainmail under their turbans, this 3D-printed matrix of protective armour maintains the flexibility of a traditional turban.
Open source for personal use
We are thrilled to collaborate with any manufacturer around the world who wants to join us in creating a Tough Turban for riders in their region.
