Reliable protection for confident riding
The GPA Global Gala First Lady Hybrid retains the complete technical construction of the Global First Lady Hybrid to provide effective protection while maintaining a lightweight feel and excellent comfort. Its technical construction combines durable materials with an efficient shock-absorption system to effectively protect the rider’s head in the event of an impact.
- Outer shell in thermo-composite resin: injection-moulded to create a strong shell that helps limit the risk of penetration or deformation in case of a fall.
- Inner EPS liner (expanded polystyrene): this material absorbs and distributes impact energy to reduce the risk of head injuries.
- Lightweight and durable structure: the technical design ensures an excellent balance between protection, durability and comfort.
Thanks to this architecture, the helmet efficiently absorbs impact energy while remaining lightweight for comfortable everyday use.
Hybrid chin strap: stability and optimal support
The Global Gala First Lady Hybrid helmet features a hybrid chin strap system, a technology developed by GPA to improve support and safety. This system combines a rigid rear section integrated into the shell with flexible straps to provide both stability and freedom of movement.
- Stable helmet positioning: the hybrid structure limits helmet movement during riding.
- Enhanced neck protection: the rigid rear section extends the shell to better cover sensitive areas.
- Comfortable adjustment: the flexible straps naturally adapt to the rider’s head shape.
This system ensures excellent helmet stability and contributes to improved overall safety while riding.
Comfort designed for regular riding
The Global Gala First Lady Hybrid features a comfortable and breathable interior designed to help riders stay focused on their riding, even during long sessions.
- Removable one-piece liner: the helmet interior can easily be removed for washing or replacement.
- Soft antibacterial fabric: provides a pleasant feel against the skin while limiting bacterial growth.
- Efficient ventilation system: front air inlets and rear extractors ensure continuous airflow to evacuate heat and moisture.
This design ensures a comfortable and breathable fit, even during intense training sessions or warm weather.
A wide visor enhanced by the Gala finish
The signature feature of the First Lady model, the wide visor offers additional protection from sun and weather while adding a touch of elegance to the helmet. It improves visual comfort while maintaining excellent visibility.
The Gala finish gives this model a distinctive identity with its glossy black shell enhanced by a glitter band available in two colours: Silver or Black. Silver creates a brighter contrast against the black shell, while Black offers a more discreet tone-on-tone appearance.
