We fought sameness by...
Inventing a turban that’s also a helmet.

Tough Turban

Sikh motorcyclists have a difficult choice to make between the protection of a helmet or the turban, key to Sikh identity. The Tough Turban is made of bulletproof fabric, foam that hardens on impact, and 3D-printed armor.

The Tough Turban further empowers Sikh riders to protect who they are. This initiative combines a lot of things we’re glad to focus on at Zulu Alpha Kilo–inclusion, innovation, and our core belief in using design thinking to solve real-world problems.
