“I was disappointed with the helmet. It did not fold as small as I had expected and I found it difficult to fit.”

Hi, Paul, we are sorry that the helmet hasn't lived up to your expectations. The helmet folds to at least 50% of its original width...don't be scared to apply some pressure, it can take it! If you need an additional Wrap-Strap to help keep it folded please let us know and we will gladly send one out.🙂

“Lovely to have a British made product to protect me a little from the terrible British drivers! We are GB not London?”

“Pretty dreadful. A heavy helmet. Doesn't fold - more of a 'squish' than anything - but worst thing is the pathetic foam pads on the inside to rest against your head! They're held on with sticky dots which you apply yourself and which then fall off! And if you try to wear it without the foam pads it's a sweaty nightmare of an experience... Not good!”

We are sorry to hear you don't love you Hedkayse helmet, you're right it is heavier than a standard polystyrene helmet and that's because it's lined with our magical Enkayse™ that can take lots of abuse and still provide the ultimate protection over and over again. It does squish and can take it without any worrying about damaging it - the Wrap-Strap helps to keep it folded (squished!) We have upgraded our sticky dots and have sent you some along with a new Wrap-Strap too...We hope that you'll give your Hedkayse | ONE a second chance🤷🏼‍♀️🙏🏻 and let us know how you get on.🙂

“I've been using my Hedkayse for a couple of months, and I'm absolutely certain it's the best and safest helmet I've ever tried. The adjustment straps are great, and the quick release tag is genius. It folds really well, although the included bag is way over the top for me. If I need to hold it in the folded position, I just use the chin straps over the top. My only downside was attaching my Zefal helmet mirror, because it's softer than a traditional helmet. I eventually found a way to cable tie it between the segments, but it was very fiddly. It would be great if that could be designed in. Mine is high-vis yellow and matches my jacket perfectly. That alone makes it safer, but as a cycle campaigner, I've looked hard at helmet safety, and this is far and away the safest helmet yet. I knocked myself out recently on a fall that smashed a polystyrene helmet, because there is no give at all - your brain has to decelerate over a millimetre or two. Encase foam has much more give, and increases the deceleration distance to a centimetre or two - that's up to 10 times less g force. And of course, a polystyrene helmet is finished after one use. I'm convinced!”

Wilf great review thank you. You certainly know you're helmet safety - we'd love to hear more about your findings if you're happy to share?! info@hedkayse.com.

“Love the colour, love the materials, love the reassurance it gives me over my last battered helmet. Love the feel of it on my head, and love the ease of fastening and unfastening fastener . Love that it accommodated my helmet light on top. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely!!”

“This is the most comfortable helmet, bicycle or motorcycle, I have owned. I apparently have an odd shape head, because most helmets are too tight on my forehead if they fit the sides of my head. The soft structure eliminates this problem. I take on faith the test results that the helmet performs well in a crash. Do you have data on performance on torsion that the MIPS system addresses? I would guess that Hedkayse performs well, but I don't know.”

John thank you for your review and the very valid question. “MIPS” is a great way of introducing rotational movement into a rigid and static helmet. The Hedkayse | ONE is made from a soft foam Enkayse™ which “squishes” rather than “cracking” under impact. This gradual compression is much more favourable for accommodating possible rotational forces. However exact degrees of comparison to a traditional helmet with MIPS are still being measured. Keep in touch and we will share our future findings🤓

“The one size for all doesn't work for me. I can't wear it. I also won't buy another helmet without a visor.”

“Nice helmet. I like the way it forms to my head - quite comfortable. The tech is interesting and the helmet is well-made. There are just a few little details - the hook&loop to hold the pads inside just would not stick to mine (I bought some better quality Velcro and used that) and the cover fabric around the rear straps is coming away a bit after a few months of light use. I don't think that affects its operation at all though. The "folding" is not quite as revolutionary as the original concept imagined. Yes, it's flexible and can be made smaller, but probably its biggest USP now is the ability to be more comfortable (and hence worn) and survive multiple impacts (not uncommon in an accident)”

“Great customer service, the helmet was delivered within the timeframe given and arrived in a smart storage bag. The actual helmet is strong, feels secure and with all the research behind it I know I can trust it to look after my head in case of an accident. The helmet is also really comfortable, looks good and I've been overwhelmed with compliments on its aesthetic. Being able to fold the helmet is a huge plus, as a commuter being able to squeeze it into my bag and not worry about damaging it gives me great peace of mind. Overall a great buy, totally worth every penny.”

“Great helmet! Really comfortable and so much more adjustable than any other helmet I've used previously. The quick-release chin strap makes it a dream to get the helmet off and the ability to fold the helmet so easily makes it great to carry around at work. It feels super safe to wear and totally justifies the initial spend.”
