The VENTETE aH-1 Helmet Inflates for Protection and Folds Flat for Storage
The VENTETE aH-1 helmet uses inflatable chambers for compact storage and enhanced protection by employing a network of eleven connected air cells that compress into a shell under 4 cm thick when deflated. The structure houses a custom non-Newtonian polymer liner that stiffens on impact to manage both linear and rotational forces and is certified to current EU standards for cycle helmets. The helmet inflates in around 30 seconds using a USB-C pump and deflates quickly for transport, allowing it to fold down to laptop-thin dimensions while maintaining a rigid protective form when fully pressurised.
The minimal profile addresses a common barrier to helmet use by enabling easy carry and storage in urban commuting situations. The combination of air-pressure impact mitigation, compact design and certified safety positions the aH-1 as a lifestyle-friendly alternative to conventional foam helmets.
