Boston, Mass.-based company Bridger is out to make helmets more adaptable and customizable. The company has designed the “Highline,” which it says is the first modular helmet supporting both biking and snow sports. A removable shell lets the wearer swap between profiles, ventilation and insulation, and a proprietary retention system allows users to change out the shell as needed. As a secondary benefit, Highline users can inspect the helmet’s foam “guts” for integrity anytime, just by removing the shell. G-Form foam inside the Highline has a memory foam-like consistency for comfort but firms during impact. Finishing touches include a magnetic buckle and ergonomic ear pads designed to cup rather than press on the wearer’s ears. Source: gearjunkie.com
