Early Clay Modeling of the Connect

Connect 2015
This is a commuter helmet for 2015 that cost $29.99 and would be sold in the mass market. When designing this I wanted to merge the all- so-familiar skate shape and add more vents and some road inspiration, but still keep the profile compact and round. I also wanted the shell to come down as far as I could to elliminate seeing a bunch of foam. The fit system and pads are lower end and were determined by the price point. This was a ground up project, which means I started from half scaled foam eggs, then went to clay, and then finished with a full scale master prototype.
