Safety in traffic, on the water, and after dark
Broyx creates products that help enhance safety during sports and recreational activities.
Helmets, safety vests, buoys, water shoes, and reflective elements have various applications, but they share one goal — better protection for the user in specific situations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How to choose the right helmet size?
Measure the circumference of the head at its widest point, running the tape measure about 1–2 cm above the eyebrows.
The result should be compared to the size range provided for the specific model.
The helmet should fit snugly against the head but not cause pressure.
Once fastened and adjusted, it should not move freely side to side or back.
Do reflective elements matter in the city as well?
Yes. Reflective elements increase the user's visibility to drivers and other road users, especially after dark and in low visibility conditions.
Why use water shoes?
Water shoes help protect the feet from sharp or uneven ground elements, hot sand, and minor mechanical injuries.
An appropriate sole can also improve grip on wet surfaces.
How to choose a life jacket?
It is essential to pay attention primarily to the product's purpose, the user's weight, the specified size range, and buoyancy. The vest should be properly fitted and fastened according to the manufacturer's instructions.
What is the purpose of a safety buoy while swimming?
First of all, it increases the swimmer's visibility to others in the water.
Depending on the design, it may also allow for brief support during rest and storage of small items in the designated compartment.
Does a safety buoy replace a safety or rescue vest?
No. A swim buoy increases the visibility of the swimmer and can help during a short rest, but it is not a substitute for a life jacket or rescue vest. These are products with different purposes.
When should you replace a helmet?
The helmet should be replaced after a strong impact, even if there are no visible major damages on the outside.
Replacement is also recommended if the helmet is damaged, deformed, has worn mounting parts, or if the manufacturer specifies a maximum usage period.
What is the difference between a full face helmet and an open helmet, and what are its advantages?
A full face helmet has an advanced structure that encompasses the front of the face and the jaw, while an open helmet primarily protects the head. Its greatest advantage is therefore a wider range of protection in the event of a fall or impact, especially in situations where there is a risk of the face, chin, or jaw contacting the ground or an obstacle.
A full face helmet may be particularly justified in more dynamic riding, at higher speeds, off-road riding, on a pump track, or during activities with an increased risk of falling.
