The Flat Cycling Hat

Most two-wheel commuters don’t carry helmets because of how bulky they are. Honestly, it’s been a debate with me too. Carrying it is a nuisance, storing it is even worse. The Fuga helmet by Closca really achieves the impossible (or rather the unachieved) in that regard. The helmet has a telescopic design that folds inwards, becoming a rather slim and flat piece of plastic that can easily fit into any bag. The Fuga also is a major win in the aesthetics department. A stylish helmet means commuters will WANT to show off their gear, and as a result will wear helmets more often… and that can only be a good thing, right?
