The padding surrounds the head, providing 360° cushioning while maintaining a lightweight, flexible construction.

The foam gently adapts to the shape of the head with regular wear, supporting a comfortable and personalized fit.

Warmth & Comfort for Colder Weather

Freddie has been designed with winter comfort in mind.

Wool Exterior

The outer wool fabric provides warmth and a soft, comfortable feel for outdoor activities during colder seasons.

Fleece Interior

The soft fleece lining adds warmth and comfort, making Freddie suitable for children who require additional head protection during winter activities.

Breathable Protective Cushioning

The micro-perforated foam allows air circulation, while moisture-managing materials help reduce perspiration buildup.

Traditional protective helmets may feel bulky or look different from the headwear other children wear.

Freddie offers an alternative, combining colourful winter styling with discreet protective cushioning.
