    Motorcycle helmet is an essential safety gear and mandatory to use also while driving motorcycles as per driving rules. There is a huge variety and category of motorcycle helmets available in the market ranging from very simple ones to very high end performance focused ones packed with features like sun shield, removable fabric liner, air vents for circulation and even additional air conditioning unit attached to it for comfortable usage in hot and tropical climate at most part of this country.

    However, helmets placed at lower end market are really basic and are used to serve only the essential function of head safety during commutes and accidents. These helmets are really simple in construction due to low selling price and most of them lack when it comes to usability or user comfort. Totally isolated hardly any feature for air ventilation or hygiene. But are used by a huge portion of population in this country just due to strict driving rules.

    In this project, I have explored these essential features and design details pushing these basic motorcycle helmets more towards user comfort and usability along with the form factor of it, keeping its simplicity and easy manufacturability to lower selling price.
