Certified Performance
Every Revi helmet is certified to meet the world’s most rigorous snow-sports safety standards: ASTM F2040 (North America) and EN 1077:2020 Class B (Europe). These standards validate performance across key metrics - impact energy absorption, retention system strength, penetration resistance, and field-of-vision safety.
All testing is conducted by accredited third-party laboratories under controlled conditions, verifying that every helmet meets strict performance and cold-weather durability requirements.
Helmets are dropped onto steel anvils at controlled velocities to measure how effectively they attenuate impact energy. Sensors inside a test headform record peak linear acceleration (measured in g forces), verifying that the helmet keeps impact forces below the maximum limits specified by safety standards.
A pointed striker is dropped onto the helmet shell to test its ability to resist sharp-object intrusion — simulating contact with rocks, ice, or equipment edges.
The chinstrap and buckle system are loaded with force to verify they remain secure under tension. This ensures the helmet stays in place during a fall or sudden impact.
Measurements confirm the helmet’s shape and visor openings provide a wide, unobstructed field of view, ensuring awareness on the mountain.

ASTM F2040 + EN1077 CERTIFICATION
ASTM F2040 [01.]
Measures peak acceleration and retention strength under dynamic load to verify impact attenuation and helmet stability.
EN1077:2020 [01.]
Measures impact attenuation and shell integrity by testing peak acceleration and resistance to sharp-object penetration.
EN1077:2020 [02.]
Evaluates dynamic load and strap elongation to confirm buckle durability, chinstrap stability, and reliable helmet retention.
What It Means for Riders
ASTM F2040 and EN 1077:2020 certifications confirm that every Revi helmet meets recognized international standards for snow-sports protection. Each test verifies impact absorption, retention strength, and shell integrity in conditions that reflect real on-mountain use.
MORE THAN ONE WAY TO PROTECT
Revi helmets combine two dedicated protection technologies designed to address different types of impact. ESA® helps manage impact energy, while Mips helps reduce rotational motion from angled impacts. Together, they provide protection across a wider range of impact scenarios.
