Helmets.
A Flying History.

Protection, communication and identity. Each helmet marks a distinct chapter in Patrick's flying story.

The Collection

More Than
Safety Equipment.

A flying helmet is one of the most personal pieces of equipment a pilot owns. It protects, carries vital communications and becomes part of the pilot's visual identity. Patrick's collection tells that story across three Red Bull designs, from the original Doodle helmet to the lightweight LIFT AV-2.1 built for his latest chapter of Air Race X competition.

The Doodle Helmet

Patrick's first Red Bull helmet introduced the hand-drawn Doodle pattern—a design language now carried by Red Bull One.

022022

The Glitter Helmet

The second Red Bull helmet arrived with a sparkling silver-and-blue finish and a sharper new identity for the next era.

The LIFT AV-2.1

The third Red Bull helmet brings a custom race identity to LIFT Aviation's lightweight AV-2.1 KOR fixed-wing platform.

The Doodle Helmet

Patrick's first Red Bull helmet arrived in 2017. Beneath the familiar Red Bull colours, its deep blue shell is filled with hand-drawn lines, figures, formulas and playful details—earning it the name the Doodle helmet.

The design became part of Patrick's identity in the cockpit. Years later, that same visual language returned at aircraft scale: the pattern now seen across Red Bull One traces its story back to this first helmet.

The Glitter Helmet

The second Red Bull helmet joined the collection in 2022. Its design pairs deep blue with silver graphic panels, then brings the surface alive with a fine glitter finish that catches changing light around the hangar, on the apron and in the cockpit.

It has accompanied Patrick through displays, jet flying and Air Race X competition—an unmistakable piece of equipment built into the imagery of this chapter of his career.

The LIFT AV-2.1

Helmet number three is a custom LIFT Aviation AV-2.1 KOR, built on a carbon-fibre fixed-wing platform with an EPS and Koroyd impact liner, active airflow and a single-pivot visor system.

Its Red Bull finish carries aircraft linework across the silver and blue shell, while a Lightspeed H-Mod handles cockpit communications. The complete helmet was painted, assembled, wired and tested in just twelve days before helping Patrick return to the top step in Air Race X Race 3.
