You boast that this helmet comes in "no loud colors". Wouldn't it be better to make it in loud colors so that motorists could see you and actually avoid a crashes?

@camillaparker, you're right in that increased visibility helps improve safety but a lot of people are also concerned about style. It's a fine line we have to balance when we design for function and aesthetics. For increased visibility we recommend using a dedicated rear safety light like our BioLogic TailLight that gives both passive (an integrated reflector) and active (an LED light) signals to motorists.

I ride a Brompton, but Dahon will be getting some of my money for one of these the minute it's available. I constantly have to find places to put my existing helmet or have it swinging from my bag. Epic design win!

How do you adjust the sizing on the helmet? Is it a velcro strap or adjustable knob, etc? How can I purchase one in the US?

Do I need to shave my head, before I can use your Pongo? That would be too wrongo for me!!

@pinedae I was just thinking that it looked like the helmets from the rebel's forest get ups.

@Guesswhokk, the folded size of the Pango is 23 x 18.5 x 13 cm (9.1 x 7.3 x 5.1 in). The Pango is different from the Stashkit in that the back also folds up, effectively halving the height of the helmet.

So what is the folded dimension?

Since Stashkit helmet were criticized for it lack of noticeable difference after been folded.
