Composite motorsport helmets are constructed from Multi Sandwich Fibres (MSF) in a design exclusive to Stilo and utilize Kevlar reinforcements.

Although carbon helmets are technically a 'composite', helmets referred to as Composite are made with a less expensive Kevlar sheets but are tested to the same standard. So a Composite helmet tested to FIA-8859 will be as resistant to impacts as a carbon fibre helmet with the same homologation.
