AMES, Iowa (BRAIN) — North America Cycles is distributing the Plixi folding bike helmet from the French design firm Overade.
The Plixi helmet folds to approximately 30 percent of its original volume. This means users can easily fit the helmet in a handbag, backpack or briefcase. The Plixi can be folded in less than 2 seconds yet still received CPSC and EN1078 certification. A line of accessories is also available.
NAC introduced the helmet to U.S. retailers at Interbike, where the company devoted nearly 25 percent of its P&A display to a Plixi shop-in-shop concept.
"We know if this helmet gets into the hands of the right dealers, it will be a winner," said Matthew Nims, the president of NAC.
Helmets are available in multiple colors with MSRP of $119.99.
