Bike helmets save lives, but if you don’t have one with you, what’s the point? Carrying helmets can be cumbersome, especially when traveling. Renting a bike-share bike in a different city often means riding without a helmet.
What if your helmet condensed down to 10% its full size for easy portability?
That’s the idea behind Ventete, a Swiss-made helmet that inflates in 30 seconds, and provides strong, safe crash protection. Using a patented pneumatic structural system, the helmet uses pressurized air instead of foam for protection. The result is a design that was tested to be even stronger than traditional foam-filled helmets.
Using origami-style folding, the helmet elegantly collapses to store easily in a small pouch. An included powered pump make inflation and deflation fast.
The UK-based company looks to have a winner on their hands, with the first drop of the helmet sold out. More will drop soon at £350.
We love it when an everyday item gets reimagined to be even smarter.
