Finally Someone’s Done Cool Bike Helmets
by Iain on August 13, 2008
Big up the Danish company Yakkay. I’m so glad that someone’s made cycling helmets that don’t look like some piss-poor Tron rip-off or a bit of Super Mario fancy dress. It’s been on my list of things to sort out in the world for a while.
With the Yakkay system you buy the base helmet, and then you can choose nice covers for them…
I’ve got a couple of reservations though…
They might just look like really big comedy “It’s A Knockout” hats. How do I know this model hasn’t got a massive head that makes the helmet look OK?
And also I’m not sure that this looks like the most robust and safest type of helmet in the world. I wouldn’t trust myself to get the pads in the right places to save my life…

they seem very female-oriented… I’d like them to man up a bit, then I’d get one!!
dunno how you can man-up a bike helmet covering though….

You should look at all the covers at the website. There are a couple “manly” enough, I guess.
I got a Yakkay myself with an Orange cap-like cover. LUV it. Hate the I-sure-look-sporty-on-my-bike-so-I-need-a-Tour-de-France-like-helmet-helmets that are a lot of air with plastic strips inbetween. ;o)

[...] Well done chaps at Bobbin Bicycles (although at £195 I might not be getting one just yet). They also stock the Yakkay range which I blogged about last year. [...]
