Big big taste in a big big bite…
So, here at the Hugger, we love good design, and generally agree that form follows function.
So I was a little surprised when my first reaction to this admittedly innovative helmet design, which won a reddot design award, was, They expect me to put my head in that? and my second was, Honeycomb’s big … big, big, big…
I think it’s an awesome idea to incorporate lights in a helmet: The higher they are, the sooner they’ll be seen. I’ve ridden with riders who clip small flashing LEDs at the back of their helmet, and it definitely helps.
But as for the new aesthetic in bike helmets … moving away from the typical aerodynamic and aggressive shapes toward a more friendly approach suitable for urban riders, which this helmet, the Cascuz, promises? I’m (literally) not buying.
What do you think? Like the Cascuz? Is the current crop of helmets too aggressive looking?
