　In-mold technology is used for the shell and protective layer. Since it is firmly formed, it will not peel off after long-term use. The material used is EPS, which is light and absorbs impact, and PC (polycarbonate), which is famous for its resistance to strong impacts. The goggles are made with polycarbonate and anti-fog coating that are more impact resistant than typical glass, providing all-around protection. In addition, Pelios is IPX5 waterproof, so the LED lighting system and camera work smoothly even on rainy days. In addition, the ventilation holes let the wind through, so you can wear it comfortably without getting hot and humid. The interior is soft to the touch and absorbs shock and sweat well. In addition, the interior of the helmet can be removed and washed, so even if it absorbs sweat, it can be washed away cleanly, so you can always keep it clean. The price of the Pelios, which comes in two colors, black and white (including 10% consumption tax), starts at 13,348 yen.
