Love it or Hate it? The Overade Foldable Bike Helmet by Agency 360

Overade' is a foldable unisex helmet, designed by patrick jouffret of french design studio agency 360 in collaboration with engineer philippe arrouart. the device provides as much protection as a standard bicycle helmet but folds up to a compact, easily transportable size when not in use. Small enough to slip into a purse or backpack, the design aims to address the low percentage of urban bicyclists who utilize helmets.  


Sounds great right? For some unknown reason I'm slightly sceptical. Usually when something is to good to be true, 9/10 it usually is. I'd have to try it out.
