作品介绍

The Ventete aH-1 is an inflatable, micro-collapsible cycle helmet built to align with and inspire the growing, spontaneous use of micro-mobility in cities. By breaking from category conventions and replacing foam with air, the aH-1 offers several distinct advantages over conventional foam helmets to the contemporary cyclist: - Collapsible: The aH-1 cycle helmet offers unprecedented versatility and convenience. Its patented pneumatic structural system deflates to less than 3.5cm in thickness - smaller than a laptop - and can be carried discreetly. The helmet is provided with a small, electric pump for inflation in less than 30 seconds. - Cool: By replacing insulative foam with air, the aH-1 is able to radically improve thermal comfort. Thermal testing by EMPA (Switzerland) reveals that the aH-1 helmet scored 99% of the cooling values of a bare head (100%.) Conventional comparative helmets score around 60%. - Safe: The aH-1 is fully certified in the UK and EU. It has been independently tested and developed in partnership with HeadLab (Imperial College London) to mitigate against rotational impact - the leading cause of traumatic brain injury in accidents. The Ventete aH-1 launched to public sale in the UK and EU in Summer 2024.
