I live in New York and use citibikes daily to get to work and elsewhere. This helmet squeezes beautifully into my very small backpack or purse, allowing me to have a helmet with me at all times--allow for spontaneous cycling! It's very easy to collapse and assemble, and adjustments to fit were easy. I can't recommend this helmet enough!
Would give this awesome helmet 5 stars but for the fact that the side-clips that hold the helmet open don't easily lock into position - the only time you've really got to focus when securing the helmet for use. Otherwise, the finer features of magnetic closure secures the helmet flat, ratchet adjuster for head-fit, easy adjustment for straps, one-hand magnetic chin clip, super lightweight yet solid, great comfort and convenience (folds away in your backpack or bag, truely deserve five stars.
MY WIFE CYCLES TO WORK DAILY IN NYC AND REFUSED TO WEAR A HELMET AS SHE HAD NO WHERE TO PUT IT
i BOUGHT HER THIS MORPHER AND SHE LOVES IT! SHE WEARS IT EVERY DAY, SAYS ITS SUPER COMFORTABLE, AND WHEN SHE GETS TO HER PLACE OF WORK, SHE FOLDS IT AND PUTS IT IN HER BAG. TRULY LIFE SAVING!!
WHAT A GREAT HELMET!! !!!!
So I checked and it just supports my large head. I like the design and how it folds down but the inside, there's barely any padding. the padding is manly just cloth. Once the helmet was on my head so many parts poked onto the top and side of my head. I thought maybe I had to break it in so I took it out for a ride. After about 30mins I couldn't stand to wear it anymore. it was so uncomfortable. Although I wanted to keep this helmet it was unusable at the state is was in.
So i purchased new velcro helmet padding on amazon and it made a HUGE difference. I can actually wear it comfortably while riding. with the extra padding the magnet clasps that hold it flat no longer works because the padding is too thick it pops open. not a big deal for me, I just keep it in it's cloth bag (comes with the helmet) and into my back pack it goes.
I think for the new design it should definitely address the pressure points of the helmet. Since it folds even with the yellow clasps fully engaged its still kinda of a foot ball shape. no ones head it like that shape and because of that shape it causes some pressure points to really hurt your head. so better and thicker padding and stronger and bigger magnets to keep the helmet closed even with the thicker padding in v2 please.
and it's really pricey, most people wouldn't be able to afford this helmet. there's other ones that fold but exactly like yours but for $40, same foot print when folded? that's a much better deal than $150 for this one. yes this product folds pretty flat BUT still has a big foot print in your back pack, it's just flat but length wise it's still pretty long.
This is a five-star review, but with an asterisk.* I often travel with a collapsible bicycle, along with a carry-on suitcase. The biggest problem is how much room my helmet takes up in the suitcase. This helmet is the answer. It collapses almost flat, unlike most other so-called "foldable" helmets. It is light, comfortable, and the adjustable headband easily accomodates my head (7.5 US hat size). The matte black looks good, and my wife says that "it doesn't look any dorkier than any other helmet," which amounts to an endorsement.
* The first helmet arrived broken. One of the four hooks, used to "grab" the matching yellow clips and lock the helmet open for use, was missing, so that the clip had no way to lock in. That made the helmet unusable. Fortunately, Amazon's return policy makes exchanges easy, and the new one arrived in good shape. Like others, I don't know how durable the plastic hook system for locking the helmet into place will be in the long run, but if there are problems I will post an update. Unless or until that happens, I am really, really happy with this helmet.

It folds flat so that it is incredibly easy to carry around and when folded it's WAY smaller than traditional non- folding helmets. It is just as safe as an old style rigid helmet and has passed all relevant safety criteria. At Morpher, not only do we want a safer planet but we believe in a greener one too, so most of our helmet's components are recyclable. We've won a load of awards around the world and have thousands of customers who rave about us and love their Morpher helmets. There is a huge amount of technology in Morpher which allows it to open and close flat, yet have the same safety efficacy as a standard "rigid" helmet. We are dedicated to saving lives and preventing Traumatic Brain Injuries by encouraging cyclists and eventually other sports participants to wear helmets. We do this by making it far more convenient to carry a helmet and therefore to have one with you when it's needed.
This is a great helmet. The design is fantastic. It's light-weight and can easily be packed in a backpack. Essential if you ride Citibike, as I do. The helmet fits all sized heads and is easy to adjust. You feel extremely safe wearing the helmet. I just got it yesterday and I've already been stopped by other bikers admiring the helmet. I'm so happy!! I love it!!
Love the design and feel of the helmet. It folds to fit easily in my work bag with my computer. Hopefully I won't have to confirm whether it works, but will report back here (only if it does work, obviously).
I really love my morpher helmet. I live in NYC and take CitiBike everywhere. This is great for throwing in my backpack when I leave the house so I am sure to have a helmet if I decide to hop on a bike. There was a bit of a learning curve in folding it, but now it’s easy! Highly recommended for the traveling cyclist!
great helmet and it feels very safe.
Comfortable and safe but when you unsnap the sides it instantly folds flat and incredibly you can store it in a backpack.
I am so happy with this purchase. It was worth every penny.
