    A bike helmet that inflates and then deflates for easy storage. Would you use a helmet like this on your commute?

      I guarantee you that helmet doesn’t pass any known safety tests. You don’t want your head to bounce.

      1. I am immediatly suspicious if the protection is as good as a classic helmet.
      2. Whenever I need a helmet I am using my bike, which usually has enough storage options so I don’t really care about the bulk of the helmet. A product like this would only be interesting in a hike and bike szenario, where I need to carry all my stuff for a while but need to get on the bike later.
      3. The thing doesn’t have air vents. They are very important for a helmet to not be exeedingly sweaty.

      I don’t have any issues with the storage. Actually, I think inflating it will take waaaay more time than just picking the helmet from where I had put it, even if it is some drawer, wardrobe etc

      I have hats easily wider & ~as tall as my helmet. Storage of my helmet is not an issue.

      Honestly I often load my bike into the back of the car for a half-and-half commute, and maybe one in 10 times (especially when loading up the night before) will forget my helmet.

      I would love an inflatable helmet I can leave in the saddlebag/work bag, so that I’ve always got it if I forgot it.

      100% this would not be my main helmet.

      Yes. I would use this when riding a bikeshare or scooter. It would need to auto-inflate in less time than it takes me to book my ride (battery auto inflate).

      I would use this to avoid the ‘insurance’ few that is coming for these services (or to decrease the cost), so the hate would need to tell my app it’d been activated.

      And in the next 3 years I would expect to wear it as a Hovdig sp) on all my utility rides.

      But as something I have to pump up before hitting the dirt jump park? Fuck no.
