An inner volume customization unit is arranged between the protection and comfort units. The customization unit is constituted by a thermo-plastic envelope (6) made of a polymer material e.g. polycarbonate, polyurethane or polypropylene, in which additive is added to lower softening temperature, where the additive is caprolactone i.e. CAPA 6500(RTM: high molecular weight linear polyester). Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for customizing an inner volume of a helmet so as to be adapted to the morphology of a user (2) a headform comprising an outer surface reproducing a shape of a human skull and used in combination with a heating device for customizing an inner volume of a helmet.
