【Cycling Blue Ticket System】Fits in a Business Bag! A Folding Helmet that Matches Your Suit

Wearing a helmet during my cycle commute, but always struggling with carrying it once I get off… That's the common “concern” of business people, and the folding cycle helmet "Foldier" solves it. With its unique folding structure, wait… it can fit in your bag too!?

When worn, the buckle snaps into place in just one second!

The biggest feature of "Foldier" is its unique folding structure. With a quick fold, the three-dimensional helmet transforms into a compact shape, allowing it to be neatly stored with a laptop or documents in a briefcase or business bag. Even while at work, it blends into the space with the appearance of a high-quality gadget when placed on a café table, and it easily fits into an office locker or gym bag.

The design also has a commitment to "commuting specifications." It deliberately eliminates the sporty, streamlined shapes and flashy logos typical of helmets, opting for a subdued matte black texture. The pursuit of minimalism that does not compromise the dignity of a suit ensures that it does not interfere with commuting style.

The usability has also been carefully considered. The chin strap buckle adopts a smart magnet lock buckle. It automatically secures itself with a "click" when brought close, and can be removed simply by sliding. It can be operated instantly with one hand, even while wearing gloves, making it convenient for busy commuting scenes. The pads are removable and washable, ensuring hygiene.

There is no compromise on safety either. A structure combining high-density EPS (expanded polystyrene) liner, which excels in shock absorption, and a sturdy PC (polycarbonate) outer shell has been adopted, and it reportedly passes the U.S. bicycle helmet safety standard "CPSC 16 CFR Part 1203" through testing by the third-party organization SGS.

A red LED blinking light designed for night riding is also built into the back of the helmet, alerting cars and bikes behind with the press of a button. The LED light is not rechargeable, as it uses commercially available button batteries, so there's no worry about running out of charge. Additionally, the adjustment dial at the back allows for a fit that conforms to the shape of the head, preventing wobbling and falling off during rides.

Due to the Road Traffic Act, wearing helmets has become a mandatory effort, and starting this spring, a blue ticket system for traffic violations on bicycles has also been introduced. For business people who want to commute smartly while being safety-conscious, this will become a noteworthy item.
