Hello and welcome to the Entrepreneurs on Monocle Radio.
The show all about inspiring people, innovative companies and fresh ideas in global business.
On today's program, we're riding into the future in style with the creator of a groundbreaking new cycling helmet that's inflatable.
This helmet, because of the fabric and the way that the chambers sit, it ventilates rather than reflects heat back in.
And so what you get is a conductive cooling over the head.
And this is where the pro cycle teams have been very interested as a kind of next chapter for us.
And later, just in time for some last minute Christmas shopping, we'll hear about the smartest gift in the world, in our humble opinion.
Thank.
This year we wanted to add a little extra gift with your subscription to really help you plot and plan for the year ahead.
This is the Entrepreneurs with me.
Tom Edwards, you're listening to the Entrepreneurs.
Colin Herpurger is the co founder and CEO of Fontet, a British design company that makes products for contemporary movement and is behind the world's first inflatable cycle helmet.
Ten years in development, the Vontet AH1 helmet features a triple layered ballistics material that's puncture proof and offers deep impact absorption.
Colin stopped by Midori House to give us a demonstration of how it works.
I began by asking him if, in his view, the Vontet helmet represents the future of cycling safety.
