02
Key brands: POC, Giro, Smith
03
Research aims: Identify strengths, pain points & opportunities
Function vs. Form
Finding the Balance
_edited.png)
"Functional-Focused" Helmets
Tough materials, max protection
Bulky shape, weak aesthetics
Good for pro sports, less for casual wear
.png)
"Style-Driven" Helmets
Sleek & minimal, fashionable
Often lack modularity or breathability Appeals to casual or lifestyle users
User Needs
What’s Missing in the Market?
01
Most helmets are either protective or stylish, not both
02
Users report helmets as: Heavy during long use Too hot or poorly ventilated Hard to store or non-modular
03
Room for customization & adaptability
04
Lack of options tailored to multi-sport or casual users
Biomechanics of Helmet Use
Key Muschles Involed
Sternocleidomastoid
Key Function_Responsible for head and neck movement
Bio mechanical Relevance_ The SCM supports the weight of the head and helmet, preventing excessive strain on the other muscles of the neck
Biomechanics of Helmet Use
Key Muscles Involved
Oral Group
Key Function_involved in expression, speaking, controlling the lips and mouth
Bio mechanical Relevance_ Helmet's design should allow free movementof the lips and mouth, ensuring talking is not restricted
Orbital Group
Key Function_Control eye movement and blinking
Bio mechanical Relevance_ HThe design should not restrict vision or eye movement and prevent strain on the eyes
Biomechanics
Key Muscles
Modeling Breakdown
Surface Strategy
01
How did the strap snap on the Helmet
02
Precision trimming for ventilation cutouts
03
Blending sharp edges with variable fillets
04
Ruled surfaces around asymmetric contours
