Riding has by far been the most relaxing and exhilarating experience I’ve ever had. The sense of freedom it bestows on the rider is beyond measure. Being exposed to the environment and living in the moment could not be a better way to exist, but it poses a sizable amount of risk for the rider and pillion, considering that it’s a mode of transport prominent for commutes. Even after being made mandatory, a large population of riders still refrains from wearing a helmet while on the road.
The project explored the user's perspectives and his deep-rooted conventions about the practice of wearing a helmet. The psychological and physical notions associated with it were studied. The structural composition of motorcycle helmets has remained constant since inception; hence, an attempt was made to bring in novelty in this aspect as well as methods to facilitate regular use by improving aspects of comfort and accessibility. Eventually, style matters for a product that the user considers an extension of his personality and cannot be disregarded. Hence, functional advancements were given life through prominent styling that imparted character to the helmet.
