Just follow the 4 steps.
First pick your sport - ski or snowboard, cyclist, skater or equestrian - and make a choice from our helmets. See the details, sizes and price. Confirm your choice with the size and you will be directed to our design configurator. Play, try, sweat and finally create until you are happy with your design.
Save your design by registering with an account or directly confirm your order with advance payment and within 4 weeks your own helmet is ready for shipping.
It's easy! With the design configurator you have all the tools at your disposal that you need to let your creativity converts your imagination into reality! Try our extensive library with backgrounds, textures or upload your own images. All function buttons come with a brief explanation, so really nothing can go wrong.
Please note that the colours on your monitor may differ from reality, depending on the settings of your screen.
Helmets come in sizes. In order to print your design exactly on the correct location on the helmet shell, we need to know your choice.
You cannot simply copy a design from one helmetmodel to another. It will not fit with the ventilation openings.
Once you've finished designing your helmet you can save your designs. Just register, get your own login details and save it in the ACCOUNT. Login again to review and change your saved design. You can save as many designs as you want for a period of 3 months!
After saving your design and size in your account you will see several options. You can re-name your design by using the RENAME button. By pressing the COPY button you have the option to place the design back in the configurator in another size. ATTENTION! If you choose for another size your design must be adapted to the milling lines of the helmet shell. Save and rename it, etc. etc.
Safeways is the producer of your helmet in close collaboration with KED Helmets from Freiberg am Neckar, Baden Württemberg – Germany.
KED designs, develops and manufactures all our helmets.
KED is the largest fully integrated European helmet maker and each and every helmet is completely “Made in Germany”.
KED won many design awards and is famous for its K-Star application for a full retro-reflective shell. KED is eco-minded and uses recyclable PETG for the outer shell and the helmets are considered one of the lightest helmets in the world.
Most helmets come with an integrated LED backlight in the Quicksafe strap adjuster.
Look at our [All about KED Helmets] page for more information and some video’s.
All KED helmets in the Safeways collection are CE and TÜV-certified and for the US market comply with all CPSC norms.
Our process is not comparable with airbrush or helmet skins.
Almost all helmets have the printing of the helmet on the “inner” side of the “outer” plastic shell. It may seem to you that the printing is on the outside, but when you closely study you will see the print is inside the shell. The main advantage is that the print is fully protected against falling or outer impact. Your personalized design will also be printed on the inner side of the outer shell and hence fully protected for damages.
Using stickers on a helmet is not good for the protective quality and is never as good and consistent as the Safeways helmets. So no outer application!
In GALLERY you see many examples created by our design studio and satisfied clients. Simply click on the design of your choice and you will be guided to the configurator with your choice loaded. Of course you can change and add your personal touch. Once you are happy you can save the new design in your Account.
