OUR MISSION

Making safety seamless to get you moving.

Before starting Thousand, I never wore a helmet, even though I was a longtime cyclist. But when I lost a friend to a fatal bike crash, I knew I had to change. Instead of settling for the “sci-fi” looking helmets on the market, I got to work designing one.

We named our company “Thousand” as a goal to help save 1000 lives by making helmets people actually want to wear. Our name is a daily reminder of why we do what we do.

Title: The PERECT commuter helmet you need RIGHT NOW
Review: I know, my review title is a bit hype, but hear me out..There are so many good things I have to say about this helmet, I don’t even know where to start. The first thing that I loved about the Heritage collection helmet is its looks. I couldn’t decide between the white or the triple black version, however I ultimately opted for the triple black to play it safe. However, I love all of the color options so much that I honestly feel like I will end up buying more than one for different occasions or outfits. I know, I’m that person.The construction of the helmet is solid and makes me feel safe. I love the matte finish to the black, and while it does pick up fingerprints a bit easily, they don’t show that much which is nice. It feels really good in hand and has a good weight to it. The buckles are well constructed to provide a tight fit and I was pleasantly surprised with the magnetic closure. I really do love the entire look of this helmet. It’s very vintage, minimalist, and just looks good on the head.The fit on this helmet is AMAZING. I highly suggest taking some measuring tape and measuring your head before purchasing this helmet online (or any, rather.) My head measured a little less than 68.5cm so I purchased the MEDIUM size. The helmet fit amazingly out of the box with minor adjustments to the straps, which I was thrilled about. I have also never had a helmet with a dial fit system and I really loved how this allowed me to get the helmet to fit even more snug than it already did. It really makes the helmet feel extra secure. I would also like to mention that if you read a lot of the older reviews it mentions that their Thousand helmets did not come with the dial in the back. This is because when the Thousand helmets were first put on Amazon, they were the older version and somewhere between 2019/2020 they switched them to the newer models. So some customers got the dials, and some didn’t. I believe they all should be updated to the newer version with dials at this point, but I could be wrong. The helmets apparently run large, so it’s recommended if you are on the in-between of sizes (For example if you’re exactly a 57cm size, get the Small instead of a medium.)Its breathability also really exceeded my expectations. When you look at the helmet in hand, you’ll immediately notice it doesn’t really have that many vents. 3 on top, and 4 in the back. However, you’d be surprised at how much air gets into this thing when you’re on the road. Because of the tilted brim of the helmet and also the shape the vents help air flow. A lot of people don’t actually know this about the Thousand helmets, but the padding inside the helmet is made from more breathable materials than other helmets, allowing air to pass through extremely easily as well. I have not found myself overheating or even sweating in this helmet at all quite yet. Although the colder season is approaching fast, I can tell I won’t have any issue wearing this helmet in the summer.The last thing that I wanted to touch on with this helmet is their customer service. I’ve never experienced such good customer service from a helmet manufacturer before and you can tell that Thousands really care about their customers. When I first placed my order on Monday night I emailed their team right away to see if they would help me facilitate an expedited shipping where I paid the shipping difference. They got back to me not even 2 hours later and set this up for me free of charge. I was really grateful for this as I was going out of town at the end of the week and needed it before then.Not only this, I think it’s important to note that they have a really amazing accident replacement policy where they will replace your damaged helmet should you get in a crash absolutely free. Thousand offers free replacement with a helmet from a collection of equal or lesser value of the original purchase. I think this is a super cool initiative and I have never really known a bike company to do this for their customers before. It shows that they really care about you.The one negative thing that I have to say about this helmet is that I was disappointed that the stealth black version does not include the vegan leather straps. I am sure Thousand could improve this design with black vegan leather straps instead of the ordinary nylon. Minor disappointment, but not enough for me to take a star off of the item for it. It shows in the item photos the nylon straps if you look closely and doesn’t include any word of the straps in the description photos like the other straps do. So that’s on me.After owning this helmet for a few weeks, my experience with their team, and their policies, it is clear that I will be a customer for Thousands for years to come.

Title: Comfortable and stylish
Review: My goal for this purchase was a safe, comfortable bike helmet that doesn’t look like a nerf football, and this helmet delivered. It’s lightweight but fits securely. As a short person, I have a head circumference on the smaller side: I went with the small size helmet and it fits perfectly around my head. The interior is comfortable, and the helmet is very breathable even during high-intensity rides or just hot summer days.The chin strap is a tiny bit short for me, but doesn’t pinch or rub even for being just slightly too tight of a fit. I also really like the texture of the leather chin strap— much better than the ridged nylon kind on other bike helmets. The clasp is very easy to use: it slides towards or away from your chin when operating, unlike other helmets with a clasp that closes side-to-side. This clasp mechanism takes some getting used to but is easy enough, and not once have I accidentally pinched a bit of skin when securing this helmet— while I sometimes do with helmets that use a side-to-side closure clasp. Overall it just looks good, and I am not riding around feeling anxious about looking like a bomb pop, or sweating into an uncomfortable foam interior, or fussing with a chafing chin strap. I don’t notice the helmet at all when I’m riding, and that makes it perfect.

Review: The Thousand Bike Helmet from the Heritage Collection is an absolute winner in every aspect. This helmet effortlessly combines style, comfort, and safety, making it a must-have for any urban cyclist.First and foremost, the helmet's design is simply stunning. The retro-inspired aesthetics of the Heritage Collection are eye-catching and unique. I appreciate the attention to detail, from the elegant leather strap to the matte finish and subtle logo. It's a helmet that doesn't compromise on style.Comfort is paramount, and the Thousand Bike Helmet delivers in spades. The helmet features a soft, moisture-wicking interior padding that keeps me comfortable and cool during rides. The magnetic buckle closure is a game-changer, making it incredibly easy to put on and take off the helmet. The fit system ensures a secure and customizable fit, giving me peace of mind on the road.Safety is of utmost importance, and the Thousand Bike Helmet excels in this area. It is CPSC and CE certified, meeting the highest safety standards.

Review: Ich hatte noch nie einen Fahrradhelm, der mir so gut gepasst hat.Meine Kopfgröße liegt so zwischen 58 und 59 cm, Größe M ist perfekt.Der Magnetklipp am Kinnriemen funktioniert hervorragend, viel besser als die sonst üblichen Kunststoff-Schnallen.

Review: マットな塗装で、色もいい感じです。すごくおしゃれだし、街乗り自転車用にはかなりいいと思います。ただ、スケボーも行けると言うことでしたが、ベンチレーション部が弱いので、後頭部を打ったらすぐに割れてしまいました。買ったばかりなので、とても悲しいです。でも、ヘルメットしててよかったです。けどやっぱり悲しい…
