Meet the world’s first inflatable helmet. Safety the size of a laptop. Crafted in Switzerland, it uses air compression to absorb impact 44.1% better than ordinary foam helmets*.

*Based on an independent report published by HEAD Lab, Imperial College London, the aH-1 Helmet shows a 44.1% reduction in linear brain injury risk compared to the best-performing EPS helmet out of 30 top-performing UK helmets tested. Read the report here.

DESCRIPTION
  • Folds down to less than 4cm thick.
  • Inflatable design with 11 connected air chambers. Born from architectural explorations in 2D and 3D space.
  • Uses compressed air to absorb impact better than traditional helmets, for greater protection against injury. As tested by HEAD Lab, Imperial College London.
  • Crafted from 3 layers of custom impact-resistant nylon for exceptional puncture and abrasion resistance. 
  • Reinforced with fibreglass ribs for superb impact absorption and structural support. Engineered in Germany.
  • Custom padding made with RHEON™ from an industry-leading polymer that protects against both linear and rotational impact. Crafted in the UK.
  • Fully inflates in just 30 seconds with the integrated Clik valve. Deflates to 10% of its inflated size for easy storage.
  • Mechanical pressure indicator lets you know when to stop inflating and when to add more air. 
  • Meticulous semi-handcrafted manufacturing process using 100s of custom tooling at each stage. Assembled in medical-grade conditions.
  • Rigorously tested to meet BSI standards, with independent testing and research with HEAD Lab, Imperial College London. Fully compliant with UKCA and European CE EN 1078:2012+A1:2012.
SPECIFICATIONS
  • Weight: Small 435g, Medium 465g, Large 500g

  • Adjustable straps for a custom fit.

Revolutionising safety

How we innovate materials and design to provide greater safety

Smaller than a Laptop

The world’s thinnest helmet deflates to less than 4cm thick, smaller in volume than a laptop. Safety you can take anywhere.

44.1% Safer

Uncompromising Swiss manufacturing meets design innovation. Compressed air softens impact on the head by distributing energy slower than ordinary foam helmets. Tested by HEAD Lab, Imperial College London.

Protected From all Sides

Developed with industry-leading RHEON™ Labs. The flexible padding adapts to your every movement. The non-Newtonian polymer stiffens on impact and spreads out energy in all directions to protect the head, no matter the angle of the blow.
