French company Overade, which is known for its 'OxiLum' bike lights, has now taken its prowess to the cycling helmet segment with the launch of the 'Life' helmet, which is designed to be able to make use of the advantages of lighting without looking overly nerdy.
What's great about the 'Life' cycling helmet is the fact that it has eminently stylish aesthetics that bely the fact that it is loaded with light-focused safety features. It is equipped with strips of light at the front and rear that are white and red respectively. The lights are powered by battery, with a three-hour charge allowing for the helmet to be used for up to 20 hours on the 'Steady' lighting mode, which is one of multiple modes that allow users to prioritize light levels of battery life depending on their situation.
Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign over on Kickstarter, this light-up cycling helmet can be procured for a pledge of $99.
