Make your helmet smart.
Bicycle safely.
A collaboration between ZEROFIT and Toyo Bussan Kogyo Co., Ltd., a safety equipment manufacturer with over 60 years of history, has resulted in the creation of the VESK, a folding helmet that is compact and SG mark certified.
This is the industry's first* folding bicycle helmet to receive the SG mark.

A foldable helmet for a stress-free cycling experience
Development Background
As of April 1, 2023, the revised Road Traffic Act will make it mandatory for all ages to wear bicycle helmets, and many cyclists are now forced to carry their helmets with them. However, typical helmets are bulky and difficult to store in a bag or backpack. To eliminate this small everyday stress and make it more convenient to carry, we have developed a helmet with a foldable design that can be easily stored in a bag.
Joint development with protective equipment manufacturers
This revolutionary helmet was developed in collaboration with Toyo Bussan Kogyo. Toyo Bussan Kogyo is a trusted company that has been manufacturing and selling safety equipment for over 60 years since its founding in 1960, and manufactures and sells 720,000 helmets per year. They conduct safety tests in-house and provide high-quality products that meet the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's protective helmet standards, SG standards, and JIS standards. They boast a track record of third place in the industry in the disaster prevention helmet market.
Convenience and safety combined
Our foldable helmets ensure the safety of the user while eliminating the hassle of carrying them around on a daily basis, making cycling a more comfortable experience.
I know it's necessary for safety... but...
Do you feel uncomfortable wearing a helmet for everyday use?
✅ Helmets are bulky and difficult to carry around
✅ Helmets with safety certification marks are not fashionable
✅Difficult to match with casual clothes or suits
✅We tend to choose convenience and style over safety.
Obtained the reassuring SG mark
The SG standard is characterized by its ease of use as a condition for safety, and its emphasis on practicality while ensuring safety. It also includes labels and instruction manuals showing the correct way to use the product, preventing accidents caused by improper use. The SG standard is a comprehensive standard that incorporates opinions from a wide range of parties, including manufacturers, academic experts, consumer representatives, testing organizations, and the government.
There are many low-performance helmets made overseas on the market that have led to accidents, but ZEROFIT VESK has obtained the SG mark, guaranteeing high safety and reliability.
A system unlike any other in the world
The SG Mark System is a unique system that combines safety standards, product certification, and accident compensation, and is unparalleled anywhere in the world . The SG Standards establish strict standards for the safety quality and usage precautions of consumer products, ensuring that products are both practical and safe. Products that are certified based on the SG Standards are marked with the SG Mark, a symbol of trust, indicating that they meet high safety standards. In addition, if a product with the SG Mark is defective and causes an accident resulting in injury or death, compensation measures are implemented , providing peace of mind to consumers.
Collaboration with helmet manufacturers
Toyo Bussan Kogyo, with whom we have collaborated, is a trusted company that has been manufacturing and selling safety equipment for over 60 years since its founding in 1960, and manufactures and sells 720,000 helmets per year. They conduct safety tests in-house and provide high-quality products that meet the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's protective helmet standards, SG standards, and JIS standards , so there are no safety issues.
We tested the safety
Experiments were done with a pumpkin without a helmet and a pumpkin with a VESK. The impact of the hammer was immediately obvious.
The ZEROFIT VESK helmet was created with safety as the top priority, so it has a high shock absorption rate and will safely protect your head and keep you safe even in the event of a large impact.
Compact enough to fit easily in your bag
Incredibly thin at just 10.6cm*
When folded, it is incredibly thin at just 10.6cm*.
The fact that we have been able to make it this thin while still maintaining safety is the culmination of the technical expertise we have gained through making helmets for 60 years since our founding.
*Values at the time of design.
There may be an error (±3mm) due to individual differences.
Just fold it with one touch
No hassle to fold
To fold it, simply turn it over and it will instantly fold to the same height as a can of coffee .
Urban style that goes well with everyday wear
Unisex design for both men and women
Its urban style makes it easy to use for commuting to work or school , and it's perfect for those who think, "I don't want a helmet that's too sporty for everyday use."
