Sahn Helmets

Well, well, looks like we've got some sweet new style-y helmets in just in time for winter! We're happy to welcome SAHN Helmets to the onTheRivet Family!

Sahn Helmets are the brainchild of Vancouver-based Matt Kelly and Sen-Huy Tan. Kelly has been creating helmets for skateboarding and water sports as owner of Predator Designs. Tan is an industrial designer with cycling industry experience.

Together, they share a vision to provide helmet alternatives for the style-conscious rider. In their own words, "SAHN Helmets is about riding. Not racing. The SAHN Classic is a helmet for those who may or may not define themselves as cyclists, but desire to have the option to look better while moving in and around the urban landscape, both on and off the bicycle."

These brimmed classic-looking helmets are made with cycling-specific features and are certified for cycling use. They come with removable comfort fit pads in different thicknesses that are placed strategically within the helmet to allow for air flow, as well as a Swiss-made rear adjuster dial for additional custom fit. They're made from a lightweight but tough outer ABS plastic bonded to a shock absorbing expanded polystyrene inner layer.

Functional as well as fashionable, SAHN helmets are available in both matte and glossy styles in black, white, blue, and tan. A low profile, sleek equestrian-inspired design makes them look good on both men and women. 

 A built-in brim makes the helmet great for keeping rain and sun out of your eyes as you pedal along. 

SAHN has also collaborated with internationally-recognized artist Chairman Ting Industries to bring a Limited Edition design featuring a custom graphic on a matte grey coloured helmet. Fellow Vancouverite Carson (Chairman) Ting is an avid cyclist and named one of the top 5 most creative people in Canada by Marketing Magazine. 

Currently, the helmets are available in S/M sizing (53-59 cm) with a L/XL option (60-64 cm) available Spring 2013. They retail for $130.
