Weather-Adapting Cycling Helmets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Bridger' Helmet Comes With Interchangeable Outer Shells

— February 9, 2021 — Lifestyle
Boston-based cyclists Peter and Ryan Eiler have developed an intelligently engineered and crafted cycling helmet that is designed to be used in conjunction with interchangeable shells, allowing you to attain optimal comfort and performance in a wide array of weather conditions.

The 'Bridger' helmet features a soft XRD foam lining and a more rugged outer foam, which is different to the polystyrene foam that is commonly seen in the majority of cycling helmets on the market. However, the true genius of this helmet lies in its polymer outer shells.

In warmer weather, cyclists can opt for the vented shell that encourages air flow and ensures that you don't heat up. However, when the weather drops to colder temperatures, you can make use of the insulated shell that includes ear pads.

While vented helmets for warm weather and insulated helmets for cold weather are not new, what's unique about the Bridger helmet is the wonderful way in which it literally bridges designs for both conditions, ensuring that you can use one helmet year-round.
Trend Themes
1. Interchangeable Shell Helmets - There is room for more companies to innovate and create helmets with interchangeable shells that can adapt to different weather conditions.
2. Temperature-adapting Tech - Developing temperature-adapting technology for other wearables and personal protective equipment, like clothing, could vastly improve the experience of athletes and other outdoor enthusiasts
3. Sustainable Sports Gear - Manufacturers could consider using sustainable materials to develop helmets that can be used year-round, reducing the production of multiple helmets for various seasons
Industry Implications
1. Cycling Industry - The cycling industry can improve their products by incorporating innovative features like temperature-adapting interchangeable shells in their helmets, leading to better customer experience and satisfaction
2. Athletic Apparel Industry - The athletic apparel industry can learn from the technology behind the Bridger helmet and develop temperature-adapting clothing, which allows athletes and sports enthusiasts to perform better under varying weather conditions
3. Sustainable Manufacturing Industry - Sustainable manufacturers can create opportunities to make the production of sports gear more eco-friendly, leading to a reduced environmental impact and the need for exponentially manufacturing new gear every season
