The helmet works by incorporating a [two-way radio into the design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sena-phantom) to connect users together and features a PTT (push-to-talk) button on the strap in order to make communicating as seamless as possible. Designed by Arun Kumar Singh, the 'Triumph' Helmet aims to be a comfortable, efficient and protective piece of equipment to wear when partaking in some climbing. This comes as a logical next step given the increased level of [technological integration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoeigtair3) that's taking place in virtually all products and items within the consumer merchandise market. The helmet sports a lattice rear section to keep the wearer cool when partaking in climbs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Protective Communication Helmets:** The incorporation of two-way radios into safety equipment could expand to other protective gear and outdoor activities. - **Smart Wearables for Outdoor Activities:** Technological integration into outdoor equipment could create opportunities for the development of smart wearables for hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. - **Seamless Connectivity in Safety Equipment:** The use of push-to-talk buttons and instant communication in safety equipment could expand to other industries that require instantaneous and seamless connectivity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sporting Goods:** Companies in the sporting goods industry could integrate technology into safety equipment to create more efficient and effective products. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies could expand into the outdoor equipment market by developing smart wearables that incorporate safety features. - **Construction:** The seamless communication features of the Triumph helmet could be implemented in construction helmets to enhance communication and safety on work sites. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Industrial Hardhats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-communicator.md) - [Communication System Snow Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sena-latitude-s1-snow-helmet.md) - [Push-to-Talk Helmet Communication Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleck-006.md) - [Helmet-Borne Communications Modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/communications-module.md) - [Connected Adventure Safety Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sena-m1-m1-evo.md) - [Interchangeable Component Sport Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-helmet.md) - [Smart Safety Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smarthat.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Motorcycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardo-systems.md) - [Crash-Detecting Commuter Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialized-tone-commuter-helmet.md)
