Closca's [collapsable helmet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumos-nyxel) improves in both the form and function aspect of a bicycle helmet without forgetting to update the style a bit as well.

It's perfectly fine to have one on while you ride, but what about afterwards? You still have to carry it around and that can be a real hassle. Closca has come up with a helmet that [folds up easily](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-foldable) to help with the process and even improves on the functionality of a helmet as well, keeping your head safer than an ordinary helmet.
