In practice. The Ventete aH-1 inflates for use and folds down for carrying.
What to keep in view
The helmet is manufactured in Switzerland. Laboratory studies of impact performance do not predict what will happen in a particular crash.
Where the design saves space
After the ride, the air comes out and the helmet folds down for carrying. The smaller packed shape is useful on journeys that combine cycling with time on foot or on public transport. Before riding, the user has to inflate it and check its pressure.
